this is what is needed... run fuel stabilizer year 'round...leaving them dry is not an option, all the alcohol in the fuel dries out the seals, hoses and gaskets, often creating leaks or stuck needle and seats..

When cleaning carbs, never use q-tips or cloth...they tend to loose fibers and make more problems... a good aerosol carb cleaner will clean any crystalized fuel that is left behind... and ounce of preventionis worth a pound of cure.. run stabilizer.

A good run is better than a bad stand!
