Bought a new 26" last winter, used a few times and never had any issues. After the winter I ran the gas out of the thing and stored it under cover, figured I'd do the first oil change this spring. Well I through some gas in and get it set to go and can't budge the pull rope and the oil is very high and milky.

1. How the hell can that much water get into the engine under cover, I can't see that much being condensate?
2. Luckily I bought with a 3 year service contract, anyone had any issues with Sears backing this type of thing up?
3. I've never had issues running 4 stroke tillers and the like dry, then gassing up and running away, curious what others do to store blowers for the summer.
