how to stop for few days

[efil 01 74]

with the inversed cylinders, you got some oil on plugs until few days, i guess for a long stop more than a week, i shut off valve

and let engine burn all gas in lines and carb. good or bad idea?

thx

You would be surprised to see how long it runs at idle. Letting it run out of gas doesn't keep the oil off the plugs The residue oil in the cyl's will still drain down to the plugs. I flew an inverted engine for years and now have an upright engine and love it. Plus the excess oil left behind protects the cyl walls while it sets.

When I was running a 2 stroke in the Avid, if the engine hadn't ran in a while, I would turn mags on, and crank it for a little bit before I primed it and actually tried to start it.  If you primed it right a way, it was easier to flood the engine with that oil/mixture on the plugs.  JImChuk
