I used ethanol like a genius. Should I empty old gas first? I'm guessing so, and the reason I didn't try to crank yet

Trying to start them isn't gonna hurt anything. The damage has already been done by the gas sitting in the carburetor all winter. Try to run them, it may run a little rough. If it starts up, add some fresh fuel and a bit of sea foam and don't look back.

It's not the end of the world if you used ethanol. Try to crank it. If it doesnt start or if it keeps choking out, then you may need to drain the gas and clean the carb. It's not as hard as it sounds. Just youtube it, there's plenty of walk-through videos.
