put a bit of fresh fuel in it, but if you're just swapping engines anyways i wouldnt even bother doing anything. 3 months really isnt that long in the grand scheme of things.

I just started my SE after it sat in the driveway 6 months without a starter and it started and ran immediately. Since I use 10 oz. of MMO or 2-cycle in every tankful I didn't feel a need to prime it with either.
