The tank is only 1/4 full. Do I have to siphon it out or can I just add regular gas to the rest of the tank? The lawnmower still turns on, but emits a stinky, slightly smokey cloud.

I have a Craftsman 6.0 HP lawnmower that’s been in the garage for 4 years. The fluids were never drained from it. I’m afraid that trying to start it up will damage it if I don’t do the right maintenance on it.

My lawnmower was very leaky, and now that I fixed the probem, I just have to clean th oil off the engine. It is mixed with all kinds of dirt as you can imagine. Using a cloth and toothbrush gets the loose stuff off, but not the tough globs. Can I use dishsoap or some kind of miraculous solution in conjunction with my hand dandy toothbrush to obliterate the oil once and for all?

THANKS
