I have a Honda powered mower. My son put the Honda engine on a Snapper chassis for me when he was in high school. That mower sat, unused for over a year and a half while I had my heart issues. When I went to start it up again, all I did was prime it with a couple of pulls to get the oil (old Bradd Penn oil from my SC) circulated, sprayed some starting fluid in the air cleaner (the throttle cable handle is broken off so it's always on the rabbit setting ie FULL Throttle) and gave it a pull. Fired right up no problem. And on year and a half old gas too.
Since your's haven't been run I don't think you'll have a problem if the tanks aren't rusty inside.
