I thought the carb would get sticky with varnish if it had a bowl and
float
valve full of gas.. When I disconnected the fuel-in line I was surprised
that no gas came out so yes it must have evaported.



Normally you do not get fuel from the line, unless you have just run the
engine and the line is still pressured. The fuel in the float bowls will
not flow back out.
