Forgive me for hijacking this post, but what to do about the gas remaining in the carburetor on those carburetors that do not have drain plugs? I’m told it is a bad idea to run the engine dry because there is no lubricating oil present when the gas runs out, but the engine is still sputtering with what little gas remains. I’m not sure i believe that, but there is some logic to it. Then there is the problem of running the gas out of one carburetor until the engine quits, but still having gas in the other carburetor(s). The alternative it to disassemble the carburetors to remove the remaining gas which will usually be at the end of the season when it is nice and cold out and one isn’t real excited about tearing the carburetors apart anyhow. Any thoughts?
