Annual Lawn Mower Face-Off

I never winterize my lawn mower. It's probably because I am lazy. I know that I should drain or use all of the gas and bring it inside but I never do. It just sits outside over the winter (sometimes under a tarp) and come spring when the grass start growing again I have to square off against the mower. The mower usually ends up purring nicely but not without a fight. Sometimes the fuel has moisture in it, sometimes the carb is dirty, sometimes I need to replace the cable and sometimes I just have to evict the ants that have decided to take up residence. I can't wait to see what it is this year.
