JMOR said: (quoted from post at 23:44:48 11/04/09) It is clearly largely a matter of preference/opinion......even my son & myself disagree on this one. His experience is totally with non-ferrous metal carbs & he has a lifetime of good experience running them dry & bad leaving them full. Myself, I don't like ferrous bowl empty, just as I don't like gas tank empty (condensation, water, rust), so given that I have tractors with both non-ferrous carbs & with ferrous carbs, I treat them differently...run some dry, leave others wet.
Works for me. I never let on set over the winter like some do ........run 'em hard, run 'em often.
Interesting. I have always been a store them for winter dry person. However, I never gave any thought to ferrous/non-ferrous properties to the carbs. I now think as you do and will not let the ferrous bowls stay dry in storage.
