If you haven't done so already, dump the tank of gas (or save it for your lawnmower) and refill with fresh gas.
Gasoline goes bad surprisingly quickly, especially since the tanks on our Hondas aren't sealed like modern tanks.

Now it has set over the winter and my dad started it periodically but didn't drive it. (it's a little hard in the Iowa snow). We got it out a few weeks ago and it will start fine but as soon as we put it in gear it kills. Or if we use the brake and stop it. If we put it on the stand and put it in gear the back wheel just starts going. Any ideas on what to do?
