If a bit of time passes and the gas in the bowl evaporates, it will =
leave a varnish like susbstance that will prevent proper operation - you =
will notice first that the motor is difficult to start.

If you can get the motor to start - by spraying starter fluid into the =
bowl for example - run it for at least 15 minutes at partial throttle, =
then disconnect the fuel line at the motor and let it die. It will =
probably be OK then. If you can't get it to start at all, or if after =
starting it won't run smoothly even after warming up, you are looking at =
a carburetor rebuild.=20
