Pegase Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Does anyone turn off the fuel and let the engine cut out thus clearing the carb and fuel line after the last ride of the day? Could it be damaging? (Beta Evo 250) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggie Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Not a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glayne Posted February 28, 2022 Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 I have a Gasser enduro bike with Keihin carb that does not like this, once I turn the fuel back on the floats will stick and overflow fuel. This is probably just me though, I have good results doing it with yard equipment before storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiewrap Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 I do this very often on things that stand still for a longer period. However also here I got problems with sticking floats on the trial bikes. So for longer time I run them dry, shorter time we don't. For the equipment around house I recently went to Aspen, as the E5 also was giving problems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnapoxy Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 I just shut off the petcock, wheel the bike over some unwanted weed and lay the bike on its side- left and right side. to the point the handlebar ends are on the ground. gas those nasty button weeds!!!
