Re: Oil in carby bowls

Are you storing the motor in the trailering position (tilted up)? Is your oil tank mounted higher than the carburetors?

How hot is the weather? Here in Texas the Gas will evaporate and leave the oil behind. How much is left? I drain the float bowls if I don't Use it for several months.
