[QUOTE="Zum, post: 287715, member: 349"] "One last question for 2012: When I get back to the ramp, my friend said I should disconnect my fuel line and let my motor die. Is he right about that one?" I never have,I do know a few people that do. Heres my take on it... If you pull the fuel line off,you shut the air off(similar to having your tank air shut off).The motor will stop but all the fuel isn't gone from the carbs,so why bother.I figure keeping it(carb) flooded with fuel would be better because only having alittle fuel will start to evaporate quicker(gum up) then having it full.I don't even drain the carbs when I store it in the winter.For me,treating the fuel(stabil) and keeping it flooded has never let me down(25+ years,some years never even treat it with stabil) I never looked to see what you have for a motor but if it's fuel injected,pretty sure running it dry is a big no no.
