Brought this back in service today. It was filthy and moldy.
It had been sitting over a year. and the oil had been in it over 2 years.

I drained all the gas out. Filled with fresh gas and replaced the fuel filter. Then I replaced the air filter.
I changed the oil. It had a mix of oils, I don't even remember what all was in it.

The filter was a Purolator L20195. FL400 size. It got the same one, which is old stock, probably '07 or '08.
Oil used is old 'M07' (2007) "Gold" German Castrol 0W30

Somehow the battery still had a charge and I was able to top it off with a 10 amp charger while I was working on it.
Had a little issue with the starter not wanting to push it through the compression, but that seems to have gone away. Maybe the battery just needed more charge.
And I just got finished hosing it down with a pressure washer. Next is to lube the grease points.

Out with the factory 0w-40
Filled with 6oz of Mobil 1 0w-40

Drained and filled followed by another drain and fill, factory oil was pretty sparkly which was to be expected. New oil is looking great after the season this year.
