Re: fuel
I also agree with you richard, and if Dhadley agrees then it's probably a safe bet that it's the right way. My father used always do this, and it always seemed pointless to me. As well as the lack of oil, it is essentialy a lean condition when the fuel starts to run out, which is why it runs faster, not that it's really enough to cause much harm, but now you are combining a lean condition and inadiquate lubrication. More than likely your not going to hurt anything, but you could slightly and why take the chance, nothing is going to happen to your carbs by leaving the fuel in there and as Dhadley said it's gonna be easier for less fuel to evaporate and leave gum and varnish. I leave my carbs full of fuel for the entire winter, at least 3 1/2 months, with stabilzed fuel and it's always fine, if he's doing this everytime and then using the boat in a couple of days, it is really pointless and eventually he'll hurt something.<br /><br />Sometimes you can't tell people what to do with their own stuff, even if it is the right way. I have a friend that refuses to believe that he needs to decarb or do a waterpump on a 5 year old engine that he's had since new and never done, just because he says he has never done it before. ?? Ah whata ya gonna do? Good Luck.
