I'm in BC and have had no trouble with any of my engines. Lawnmower, snowblower, weedeater, motorcycle. Most years I put some fuel stabilizer in them before I put them away, not always. Just fired up my DRZ400 yesterday. Battery was a bit low but it fired up and ran like a champ. I have had to...

I've had good success with wd-40 for removing stickers and old residue. I too quickly remove the them. Don't imagine the warning labels were part of the original design!

I started by doing my regular spring maintenance and throwing all the tools and some parts in a tool roll. Zip ties are amazing to have on hand. What can you and are willing to fix on the side of the road.
