Small Engine Winter Storage Lawn mowers, garden trac tors, edgers, and chain saws need their engines cleaned and examined thoroughly before storing for the winter. First thing needed is replace ment of all worn and lost parts. Then, remove, clean, and re-gap the spark plug. While you have the spark plug out of th'' engine, squirt a little oil into the spark plug hole. A 10-weight oil is good, and then turn-over the engine several times so the oil will coat the moving parts. The oil needs draining and replaced, and then drain every drop of fuel from the gas tank and carburetor.
