[QUOTE="richg99, post: 467100, member: 4376"] [b]"Is it better to run the carb bowl dry " [/b] Great question. I, too, am awaiting a response from the engine guys. I do know that my mechanic answered that question with "it depends". It seems that my two engines (1996 Johnson and 2007 Mercury, both 50 hp & both two-cycle) are different. I can run the '96 dry with no issues. However, If I try to run the 2007 dry, the auto oil feed system will fill my cylinders with oil. Anyhow, that is how I understood his explanation. Listening here for more info. [/QUOTE]
