Yes Don is correct! I always ran my 85hp Evinrude out of fuel before tilting it. Even used the choke to get every drop out. Never had carb problems or scoring. You think yours is bad tilt a Mercury 6 clyinder motor!

Jeff look at my avatar, that’s my 71  Merc 135HP . I know exactly what you mean about tilting an Merc inline six. Fortunately I never have the problem with that motor leaking because it always stays in the down position on a mooring.
