I've winterized the engine (I actually stalled it with Mystery oil this
year) drained the block of anitfreeze (It felt like warm **** on my hand) now is there a way to drain the carburetor of gasoline? |

There are no drains on the Q-Jet. You won't have a problem if you stabilized
the fuel and ran the engine 15 minutes before you fogged it. The engine is better off with antifreeze in it, than leaving it dry. Jim "Jim and Becky" wrote in message . ..

The carb is better off with gas in it too.

I would guess the fuel has evaporatated from the carb by now ... the bowl
does vent to the outside. "Lawrence James" wrote in message hlink.net... The carb is better off with gas in it too. ".JIMinMA." wrote in message ... There are no drains on the Q-Jet.

I thought the carb would get sticky with varnish if it had a bowl and float
valve full of gas.. When I disconnected the fuel-in line I was surprised that no gas came out so yes it must have evaported. |

Normally you do not get fuel from the line, unless you have just run the engine and the line is still pressured. The fuel in the float bowls will not flow back out. Bill |
