What are the chances my lawnmower is still working? [View All]

[NewJeffCT]

About 3 years ago, we moved from one small town in CT to another. At the new house, we had a bigger yard and a couple of steep areas, so I used a professional to cut the grass. My lawnmower laid idle for the entire 3 years.

Now, we've moved to a new town in CT that has a slightly smaller yard, and it is also pretty flat. So, I'd like to start cutting my own grass again because it's decent exercise, and also cheaper in the long run.

The lawnmower has been pretty much dormant the past 3 years. It's one of the low-end push models that I probably paid a bit over $100 for 9-10 years ago. It has a gas-powered Briggs & Stratton engine. I never did any maintenance to it other than putting in gas every week and fresh oil every spring.

I'm going to try to pull it out tonight after work to see if I can get it started. But, is there anything more than a snowball in July's chance of it working?
