    it may be  wise to  also  clean the carb  should any  problems develop.       who knows how it was stored.

    for simple winter  lay-aways   I always store  fully fueled  (carb  filled)  with fuel conditionner  circulated in

    for long term I would always run it dry  to prevent  dried fuel deposits

    ignition coils may be  badly cracked  but easy to replace  condensers likley  bad to … all normal stuf with lots of help here !!!  and  utubes

    changing impeller  requires PH  removal   sounds complicated but isn’t…see lik on  impeller change by pulling the drive shaft from the GC
