The past two years I have drained the tank, cleaned carbs and left them in a toasty warm basement. This year, I moved and left the pre-mix in the tank. Now, I know I should drain and clean, but I want to start the ol girl up this weekend, would it be safe to just fire her like this?
Thx.

I leave my tank full with pre mix every winter. It started second kick yesterday. You should be fine running it.

She started right up. Smoked like a banshee, no pun intended, off I went after I let it idle for a while. I now live in an area where there are a bunch of retired folks. Guy next door has his and her Tesla's, they must love me with that bike.
