As long as you remove corn gas and run pressure washer/lawnmower out of gas you shouldn’t have problem. But if I stored more than couple months or more I would add additive to prevent minute rust in carb, bowl, sea foam, marvels, similar. When storing to long time I put small amount marvels down spark plug hole keep rings/bore lubricated. Or transmission fluid does same thing. Transmission fluid and additives don’t smoke as bad as oil when fire it up after storage. I had 410 mercury engine in late 70s I stored for 6 years. Put marvels in each cylinder and in carb. After I ran it out of gas. When I stated it up 6 years later I again put marvels down cylinders, turned engine over by hand, and let set over night. Put curb cleaner down the carb vents it fired right up. Smoked for awhile but idled and ran fine.
