If the rust is severe....ie pits even after you sand on them with a flat sanding block then yes turn them...otherwise go get some 3m Roloc pads and an adapter for a drill/angle die grinder and just rough up the surface and removing the surface rust at the same time. Should be good as new then. Unless they were warpped from heavy bracking and were pulsing before putting it away then turn them anyway.

Put some gas in it, check/change the oil, and make sure the battery is charged, also check to make sure no woodland creatures have chewed up your spark plug wires, stuff like that. And fire it up.
