No real need to re-winterize it, but with 18 months storage I'd start to get a little worried about the fuel. Did you store it full or empty? There are two schools of though, but I fall into the "store full to lessen condensation" camp. To offset octane degradation I also store with premium plus stabilizer.

I'd probably pul lthe plugs, spray some more lube/engine fog on the pistons and crank it over a couple times. Preferably by hand, not the battery.

If it were me, I'd seriously consider draining the tank before I put it back in next spring. Not now, then. Put some good fuel in, clean out the fuel filter if needed, run it a while on the hose and then replace the fuel filter.

How's that battery holding up? Two words - Battery Tender.
