The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Gas Shutoff/empty carburetor for overnight/long term parking.

I don't have a leaky carb but after each use I shut off the gas valve and let it idle for a minute or so before turning off the motor; then I turn off the battery power creating a two way safety buffer. Never had a problem starting the car the next time.
