Good points, Bill. I’ve never put much effort into figuring out how long it takes for the fuel to evaporate in my carb.

The YF is awesome. Starts up stupid-easy, like first rotation, as long as it has fuel. And I can push in the choke almost right away as long as I pull the throttle cable just a hair. That’s in moderate to hot weather. Winter time takes just a bit longer.

A “next day” start is also instantaneous. Shooting from the hip, I’d guess that a week of sitting equals 5 seconds (more or less) of cranking. I interpret that as a pretty empty bowl. Maybe not totally dry.
