lc0338 - Do you turn off the fuel switch?
2oldman - It does, but it isn't much of a manual. It is a cheap 5kW style generator and isn't the easiest to work with.
joebedford - if the carb float is stuck, is there an easy way to unstick it without taking it apart?
There seems to be a two schools of thought on this! Counting up the "leave wets" and "run drys" is a 5 to 7 count.
I've been doing the leave wet and leaving the fuel switch on on my Yamaha, and it has worked for 7-8 years without trouble, but I am thinking about changing to either leave wet but turn off the switch, or turn off the switch and let it run itself dry.
Question #1 is - if you leave it wet and turn off the switch, will it dry up?
Question #2 is - if you turn off the fuel and run it until it stops, will the carb be completely dry? Or will there be gas left that could dry out and get gummy?
