I always used to rund the gas out of my outboard because I was told if you leave gas in the carburetor (I got a 2 stroke) it will gum up and turn to varnish, whatever.
Then guys started telling me I was doing more harm because when you run the engine out of gas this will cause the carburetor gaskets and seals to dry out over time and crack, causing problems.
So for the past 3-4 yrs I have been leaving the gas hooked up. To be honest the engine runs fine, no problems and I never had any problems when I ran it out of gas either.
Anybody got an opinion on which is better.
