No mechanic here, but I've been told that stuff with carburetors stores better with no gas in them. The gas evaporates and deposits a type of varnish. Also old gas makes stuff very hard to start. My weed wackers wack me more than the grass when I try and start them - my weak spot.
Clean equipment and new gas makes stuff easy to start.

What about using that additive you put in gas for when you're storing your equipment. One of the names it goes by is "Stable". I've used that in my gas storage container and I haven't had any problems with my mower yet.
