[QUOTE="jethro, post: 455320, member: 12381"] My experience with small motors is that running them dry is not good. The reason is that the jet ports are so small in these carbs that they can varnish almost instantly when you run them dry. I would suggest not doing that in the future and keeping the jets in a bath of liquid gas instead, but that is just my experience. Also air is a killer. Oxidation and corrosion is kept at bay when gas is present. I always just store my small equipment full with treated gas rather than running them dry. I would take the carb apart and soak the jets concentrating especially the float valve jet. [/QUOTE]
