    Thank you for this video good information .
    I also turned off my fuel and run it dry but later when I started up again the O-rings leaked and fuel dripped in the carburetor throat and it was flooded .
    I had to wait four hours for the fuel to swell the orings and make them seal again . so you really can’t run it dry .

    • @IndRepair

      Thanks for watching! It is basically an air leak and will give sporadic running like air leaks do in most cases.
