My dad insists on draining gas from weedeater, leaf blower, and boat motor and running the engine dry after EACH use. Gets on my nerves... lol. Is this actually useful? I understand you should drain and run dry at end of season, but after every use?
No its a bad thing to even run the weedeater completely dry because there is a gasket in the carb that will wear out just by the use but running it out of gas each time makes it go out faster. I work at a small engine shop and i see it all the time. Put stabelizer or a thing call sea foam in the gas you should be able to find either one at the local parts store and Wal-Mart.
