You will be fine. I leave gas sitting in the mower all winter and fires right up the following spring. I also have a carbed motorcycle that may sit for weeks at a time in the winter because I'm a wimp when it comes to really cold temps on the motorcycle and it always fires right up after sitting with gas in it. And I've never got flat spots on the tires from sitting that long either. Just my personal experience

Thanks again for the feedback. As a lot of you said, I can't imagine that two weeks of sitting would do anything to a vehicle. When I get home I'll take it on the freeway for a good 20 minutes, give it some exercise.

Default gas

I run Sta-bil, lead additive or the like in all my small engines or antique autos.
