You can't leave a few drops of gasoline in any nooks, crannies or jets without bad consequences. That's technically correct Yes, that's why I thought it important to mention it. A small amount of raw gas left in the carb may (will) cause more harm than a carb full of properly treated gas. For storage that is anticipated to be longer than a year, or at most two, the carb should be disassembled as described above regardless. Otherwise, plan on trouble when you next want to use it. It's a LOT harder to clean a carb and fuel system after it has been allowed to sit with stale gas in it for too long. |
