[QUOTE="Skidz, post: 198157, member: 3920"] My dad always did this, and I can say that he never once had any problems. And, I used to do the same, until I learned more about 2 strokes. The fact is, that gas and oil mix is the only lubrication the engine has, and take it away, you not only don't have combustion, you also don't have any lubrication. Granted, it's only a second or two, but I think that over time it would definitely affect the longevity of the engine. As with wasilvers, I use stabil in every tank, along with a splash of seafoam. I don't run it out of fuel, even for winter storage, and it fires right up every spring. Skidz [/QUOTE]
