Personally, i never do ANYTHING to my mower. It sits all winter with whatever gas i have in it after the last cut. I put sta-bil in the tank (about 1-2 caps) and leave it. In the spring i pull it out, change the oil, sharpen the blade, prime the HELL out of it, and go for it. It'* a 5.5 HP Briggs about 3 years old. I did the same, as did my dad, with my 13 year old craftsman mower and that thing ran great till the very end, and even then it was a compression problem not a carb problem. The biggest problem with these carbs is the main jet getting clogged, but it rarely happens with the Briggs carbs.
