bansheesandrider Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Why not just turn the fuel petcock to off and run the carbs out of fuel? The remaining fuel in the carbs will be an insignifigant amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen to some one do this and you will hear the engine rev up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 along with starving the motor for fuel and oil...when you run a 2-stroke out of fuel you can actually cause it to go into a run-away throttle situation. like mentioned before...it will begin to rev itself up...just the nature of the beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had a problem with mine running away in the 21 years I have owned it. I have also never lost a crankshaft or topend from running out of fuel either.

Larry's Shee Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Either look for bowls with a drain or maybe drill and tap one yourself . The run it out of gas rout does not evacuate ALL fuel even if you could run it till it stalled on it's own. JMO ,your results may vary .
