Guys, isn't there an issue to consider when 'running the carb dry?' If done with any frequency, what effect will this have on the fuel pump? Isn't the fuel pump cooled by the fuel running through it? I understand that the pump would run dry for a very short time. But still... Also, if running the carb dry is the way to go, what about the pump plunger (e.g., the Rochester B)? I wonder about letting the leather dry out. And does running the carb dry clear out all of the fuel, or does it leave some which will then turn to varnish? Maybe there is something one can spray into the carburetor when parking the truck for some time? Otherwise, it seems to me that there is no other choice than to remove the carb, clean it out, and oil the plunger. Somewhat tedious if one ends up having to do this anytime the truck will be parked for several weeks, etc. -Alden
