letting an engine run out of fuel,before allowing it to sit for an extended period of time,is never a good idea.
a better approach is to run the engine on a "winterize mix",me,i use 5g of fuel,a gallon of oil and a shot of stabil - i run the engine to temp - perform a compression test,service the gear case,pull the wheel,lube all points,then,disconnect the fuel to the engine-connect my mix tank,and run the engine again,with the salt a way flush connected.allow the engine to run till it begins to smoke,run it to temp again,then increase the idle spped,and kill it with the primer - "choke"...
this,puts a fuel/oil mix in the carbs - fuel evaporates,oil doesn't,the inside of the carbs are sealed in a lite coating of 2 stroke oil - eliminating all potential problems...
