If they're gas, add stabil or seafoam to the gas, let them run a few minutes to get it through the carb, and if you're going to start them and use them in the spring, probably just let them sit over the winter.

When you cover them, make the cover like a tent, and leave a foot or two open at the bottom. I put in 4 steel posts at the corners, and secure the cover to the posts a foot or so from the ground.
