its cursed !!!!!....ha

im not sure that it matters if you live north ,south, east or west. super tech is only a small portion castor so it may sit indefinatly with no problems. not much experience with that oil so ill take your word for it. the moral of the story is this: if your engine works fine one day and sits a month and wont run with the choke off , there shouldnt be much question where the problem is. pilot orifice simply isnt allowing fuel to pass

Found a blocked pilot
,I need to start draining the carb for storage

Airfilter is a Esr eliminator k&n style with outerwear

if you put it away for the winter i suppose you could drain the carb and blow air through the orifices etc. but if you know youll ride again in a few weeks just shut the fuel valve off and let the engine run it out. youll hear when its getting empty and shut er down. ive had good luck with this method and the engine fires right up next time

I do the same thing after washing the bike after a dune trip. Seems a little lean though when you start her back up.

This is what I've done on my bike after every ride for over 20 years, weather it's going to sit over night or for 6 months & my carb always looks clean as new whenever I open it up.

When your done riding and you are going to put the bike away for a week or so, try to kill an engine with the choke.  This will wet the lower end with a little more fuel and oil.  This helps prevent rust especially if you just washed it and the pipe may have some moisture in it.  

If it is going to be more than a couple of weeks the carburetor needs ALL of the fuel removed from the float bowl.  If you shut off the fuel and let it idle until the engine runs out of fuel, your carb is not dry.  The fuel level is just lowered to the bottom of the pilot jet and the lower end is a little "dryer than normal".  A bottom end that is dryer than normal will be more apt to rust especially in the summer when the humidity is real high.  The remaining fuel in the float bowl will eventually leave a slug of oil in the main jet and possibly reduce the effective main jet size the next time you run the engine.

Every time the fuel is allowed to evaporate from the float bowl there is potential for every jet in the carburetor to become slightly smaller because of this small film of varnish coating everything inside the float bowl.  Depending upon the type of two stroke oil, this film of varnish that forms inside the jets can eventually lead to lean conditions that will burn pistons.

Jerry, it sounds like the easy solution is ride these SOBs instead if letting them sit.
