I have a Yamaha 6hp 2cycle (older motor) I am leaving set for the summer in Florida. Is it better to run all the gas out of the motor before storing or leaving some in the lines and motor? I have been using Sea Foam all winter in it so the fuel has some stabilizer in it. Just curious if the gaskets or seals will dry out if I completely run it dry. Thanks for any help you can give me

Drain all gas out of carb with float chamber drain screw....very easy insurance against plugged carb jets when you re-start motor...
