We have a very nice chipper shredder that has not been started in over 4 years. I was using it in the garden to shred weeds in the fall, and then it got pulled into the barn and parked for the next 4 years. I asked my DH if he put additive in the fuel tank for winter, he said he did. I don't think he did, but he said he did so I left it alone.
I there anything I should do for this machine before I try to start it up? Like empty the gas tank and put fresh gas in it, or add anything to the gas? or anything else anyone can think of.
I know I will flood it when I try to start it, I always do. But, I would eventually get it started in the past. I am just worried that the neglect has damaged the engine in some way.
