The lawnmower decided that Easter is a good time to stop working. I took it apart, cleaned fuel lines and the carburettor, put in a new spark plug, cleaned the air filter, and put it back together. It started with the first pull. Result.

In the winter I have a monthly appointment with my mower in my calender to run it for 10 minutes.
I just drain the gas and run it until it stalls. Been doing this with the lawnmower, weed trimmer and snowblower for over a decade, never any carburetor issues.
Do you put fuel stabilizer in the tank and run some through the system?
That sounds like a lot of complication for a humble lawnmower.
Men, a capful in the tank and run for 5 minutes, it will stop the gas turning gummy and going “flat”. But usually I shut the petcock off and drained the carb bowl…to many plugged needle valves in the past.
