Gas Shutoff/empty carburetor for overnight/long term parking.
Hi
I have a very small carburetor leaking (fee drops/day). I have read many threads and I know what will be the steps to follow to find the cause.
I also think that my gas shutoff valve probably is not closing as it has to.
Because the car is running very well as it is now, I would like to leave the carburetor work for the winter season. When car is not driven.
In the meantime, this is my question:
Is it good or bad to park the car, close the shutoff valve and allowed the engine to used the gas left in the carburetor?
I drive the car every week. I would do that for the overnight or full week parking only.
This could also help me to identify if my shutoff valve is not working well. I assume that, if after the carburetor was emptied, then start to leak, means that gas went to it during the week as a consequence of a faulty gas shutoff valve.
Thank you !!!
