There are so many things that can prevent an engine to not start even simply that the person dosent know how to do it.(sorry) . I'm just saying that if you have taken care of your equipment and maintained it , kept it up and kept it clean, you shouldn't have any issues. The only thing I do in the winter is a battery tender, oil, and a little gas additive (HEAT). Nothing else and I only use a little gas junk just because it's not unheard of to get a little moisture in the tank.
I Can't Stress Enough,,,, Take care of your machine,,,,, Rescue11 jokes with me all the time About why I'm messing with my Cub. I constantly check over my equipment (PMCS) military thing I guess was always taught you don't want your equipment to fail at an important or inopportune time. AND MINE NEVER DOSES....

I can assure you that none of my machines is lacking in care or attention. They all get used with a fair amount of regularity (except the MTD) and the fuel is fresh and no alcohol. Never use fuel treatments or MMO or anything. There is no electricity available on "tractor row" so I lug a gen-set and charger up there and charge everything monthly during the winter. Batteries usually last for many years.
