Summer storage
Original Message   Mar 11, 2012 2:45 pm
I have heard it said that harm may comne to carbureter components if the system is drained for storage because seals etc will dry out.  I also see most now say to drain before storage.  I've done both (drained and wet store with stabilizer) and have had no problems either way.  anybody know about the dry seals problem?  Comments welcome!

I should have mentioned that as i am spraying the wd I am also using compressed air /blow gun to atomize the wd in the tank.  It breaks the wd into a fog and does a nice job of coating the tank.  You can actually see a light fog mist exiting the tank as you do it.

Nice! I almost posted yesterday to suggest that, but it would require the user has an air compressor, etc. And since I don't have a compressor myself, I had no idea whether would actually work in the first place
