[T3] Crabby carbs

[Keith Park]

Hmmm, that's possible, that tank has been nearly empty or half full
recently.  Wouldn't that eventually pass though?  How long would you think
Id need to run it to get the water worked out?  Ive kept it running for a
few minutes but it never gets better and always stalls out if I let the RPM
get too low.

Thanks

Keith

i think you are getting condensation in the tank and when it sits you end up
with water dropplets moving reward to the carbs and it then runs like crap.
