Interesting that Toro doesn't supply an easy way to drain the carb because their "guaranteed to start" warranty is voided if you fail to drain the fuel system prior to any period of non-use over three months. Sounds like a perfect way of avoiding a warranty! "what? you didn't drain the gas?...sorry dude, that GTS is null and void!" And it saved them $3 by not having to install the shutoff and drain valve.
2011 Ariens Pro 28; Toro 210R, older Powerlite and a generic single stage w/ Tec. engine. God Bless America!

Carb bowl drains are going away -- victim of the enviromentalists. You can thank them for the ridiculous "vapor recovery" fuel cans too. At the end of the season, I run OPE dry and drain the bowl, or on newer carbs, remove the bowl and wipe it dry.Â
