the owners manuel suggests draining the carb of fuel, is this really necessary?

Modern gasoline will form a varnish sludge in the carb if you don't drain it in some way and let it sit a long time.Applies to any gasoline engine.If you use it weekly it will be fine. if you let it sit 6 months you'll probably have problems with the carb. Its hard to predict where in between there is the maximum you can let it sit with gas in the carb.Just like the common lawn mower engines.

It is if you store it for any length of time. I usually turn off the fuel valve and let it run out of gas.

Possibly, but it depends on the tank design. Assuming it's a gravity fed design, you'd be better off disconnecting the fuel line to drain it. Use something like this:Laguna Multi Hose Adapter, 1/4 to 1-Inch That will allow you to connect the short fuel line to a longer hose.Be prepared to deal with a varnished carburetor. Add something like B12 Chemtool to your new fuel. You may have to remove the carb and soak it in Chemtool or carb cleaner, or maybe even rebuild it.

A heavy fuel smell coming from your carburetor may indicate that you have leak somewhere in the carb body itself.

It seems that if you overfill the fuel tank, the gas makes it's way into the vent and and then drains thru the hose back into the air cleaner assembly. Not the greatest design, but I drained some fuel from the tank and now the problem is solved.. Thanks for you input anyhow.

Not sure why this is important to you. It comes with a spout. These CARB approved cans are tough though. They dispense the fuel soooo slowly. I highly recommend a transfer pump so you don't have to worry about thread size, the speed of the spout or spilling any fuel.

Sound like a new carb and if you can rebuild the old one. I would replace the gas lines, filter and carb!

You should probably stay away from carb quick until after induction. Since this post was quite a few months ago I doubt it will be much help to you, but maybe to others.

I used it and have had no problems. I empty my tank and run what's in carburetor out.

Gas is probably still good. I would run the gas out, add new gas then add PRI-G if you plan further storage.

Yes, to remove the liquid gas, but after 2 years the tank and carburetor will probably need to be cleaned.

I'd leave the gas in, and add sta-bil. Haven't got my Durostar yet, but I assume there's a clamp at an inline filter and carburetor you could undo.

Yes, but you may find a carb cleaner already in a spray bottle to be easier and cheaper.

Compare intake and linkage to carb hookup.If head and carb are the same and make a good seal you can make the rest up as you go.It seems most links are never the same as the original app.Sometimes I've had to take the two carbs apart to make the choke or throttle body work. improvise and overcome.

No not necessary - it has an internal tank. I did not have any trouble with the item but it is small and may not work for a large area.

Carb cleaner or hot water ... Mine got a little gunked up once and this worked

Its really only a source of storage for blow by cause by excessive pressure build up in your engine. Unless your engine is modified for above average performance i really dont see a need for it.
