[QUOTE="MtnDew, post: 307415, member: 10632"] When I am done for the day and back at the dock, does it matter if I just hit the stop button and leave gas in the carb ? Or is it better to unplug the fuel hose and let the engine burn down the gas in the carb ? The assumption is I will be using the outboard again in the next few weeks, not putting it up for storage. My other assumption is the carb would get less dirty or gunked up, if no gas was sitting in it ? For reference my motor is a 1990, 2 stroke 15hp gamefisher/force outboard. -thanks [/QUOTE]
