how many of you have trailered down a rough road to find that your motor won't start due to what? hand it happen up in canada, should the motor be tilted up?, should the float bowls be full of gas so the floats don't beat them selves to pieces, all that bounceing around can't be good on a motor? suggestions???? doug

I always leave the fuel in the lines as I travel.
The only time I run the fuel out is when it's gonna sit more then a month.Which is hardly ever.
I've never had a problem by doing this.Good luck,
STRIKE ZONE

I'm with strike zone, I've trailered my boat all over Wa. and B.C. and do it the same way he does. I've never had any issues traveling this way. I always put my motor in the down position while going down the road.. I think theres less stress on the motor that way.

I agree- keep fuel in the lines except when storing long term. But I always trailer with the motor tilted up for less stress on the transom.

I have heard it is better to run the fuel out of the lines/motor after each use. That way the fuel does not corode the inside of the motor. I have a four stroke so the philosophy may be a little different than it would be for a two stroke.
