12Footer, what do you mean run it almost out.

[yamahamaninmobileal89]

I also own a mid 80s yammy 15 and 1995 yammy 9.9 ( both 2 strokers) for 2 skiffs I own. I have run the gas out of these engines for about 2 years now with no problem. But now that I think about it, you are right to run it out almost out. But how do you tell when to stop. I am very interested in this. Thank you for all of your feedback.

Yama,<br />Shut it down as soon as it starts to sputter out. That will leave enough in there to keep things from drying out.

i never run the gas out just switch it off and go home never have a problem . i mightif i let it set for a long time . a little gas will evaporate quick .leave it full it will keep it there longer once in a while i will pump new gas in if ilet it set several months . that dont happen here . my 2 cents worth <papasage >

Re: 12Footer, what do you mean run it almost out.

Isn't that the reason for the little bulb in the gas line? To fill the bowls and pressure the fuel line before starting?<br />Is this the same discussion as the other discussion started by yamahamaninmobileal89? Would be a good idea to stick to the topic instead of beginning an new one.
