I keep a quart of the 50:1 TruFuel weed-whacker fuel on hand. When a vehicle has sat for a few weeks I remove the air cleaner, dump a cap full of the TruFuel in and crank. Usually have to dump in one more cap and then it will idle. Saves a lot of wear and tear on the starter. And since the TruFuel is a premix it provides some top end lubricant to help with the overly rich temporary mixture.
