Change the engine oil, run it dry and fog it as it stalls.

I too have a front time tiller (5 HP Tecumseh) last used regularly in 1987.

I changed the oil, ran it dry and fogged it in 87 before storage. About 10 years ago, I needed to use it for a small project and it started right up with fresh gas. Upon shut down I fogged it again.

A couple of times each year as I walk by, I pull it through a couple of revolutions.

I'm confident that it will start and run properly if I need it again but it will likely need a new fuel line.
