[QUOTE="BassBlaster, post: 307428, member: 2865"] I was always told with my quads that when I park them, I should shut the fuel off and let it burn off the gas in the carb. This caused all kinds of problems. For some reason this newer gas leaves a film in the carb that turns into a scale or skin when it dries on the surfaces, When you put in more gas and fire it up, that skin plugs all the jets up. I took apart and cleaned the carbs on my Yamaha Raptor so many times that I could do it in less than an hour. This is the only machine I have ever drained the fuel from and the only machine I ever had continual carb problems. I leave my mowers, weed wackers, chain saws, etc all full of gas when I put them up for the winter and they always start in the spring. I could park that Yamaha and a week later it wouldnt run. I am a firm believer in stabelizer for long term storage though. I like Seafoam. [/QUOTE]
