[QUOTE="ben2go, post: 56217, member: 751"] The engines internals need the lube from the fuel oil mix for the next start.So running a 2 stroke out of fuel may cause excellerated engine ware.Yes,it's true that fuel evaporating leaves behind residue,but 2 strokes use oil.The oil doesn't evaporate and does gum up the carbs internals.Most boat motors have carb bowl drains with a single bolt/screw that can be removed to drain the fuel.I can winterize my motor in 10 minutes.loosen the bowl screw,let the fuel run onto a rag,while I pull the spark plugs to fog the cylinders with WD-40,and check the lower unit for water in the gear oil(1 screw in plug).
