Winter storage question

70 Rupp Roadster.
Should I run the carb dry of gas or leave gas in the line?
I have put stabilizer in the tank and ran the bike and made sure it was through the system. The gas does not have ethanol.

Mike, Mac is just bein funny :doah: He doesn't like Mini Cycles :shrug: If you used the good Stable you should be ok but it doesn't hurt to empty the tank and run the carb dry

if you decide to run it dry its better to pull the bowl off the cab and empty it that way if you just run it dry there will still be some at the bottom and that has an even greater chance of turning sour

Yep, get that fuel out of there.

Don't store them myself. I ride all year. All of them.:smile:

But then, it doesn't usually get below 40 for more than a few days.:laugh:

I ride on the nice days and sometimes on the not so nice days :laugh: as long as there is no snow on the roads . I never have put any additives in the gas and have never had any problems :shrug: .

Me neither, I dont add stabil to my gas, never had issue. Snoblower starts right up.

Thanks guys :thumbsup:

I have never had anything with a diaphragm carb so I was not sure if I should do anything special.
