A more immediate benefit, with some safety implications, is that by
draining the carburetor intentionally, it will not subsequently drain
itself in the trunk of your car or wherever you choose to carry or store
your outboard.
Hope this helps,

Howdy Gang,
A hopefully quick question:
Some people say that when you are done using your motor for the weekend,
you should shut of the gas, and let the gas run "out of the system".
1. Why is this?
2. What can happen if you don't do it?
3. IF not doing this is part of the reason my motor will not start, what
can be done to correct it?
Thanks in advance,
