Carburetor Flush ?
Should Gasoline be run out of the Carb before storing the plane over the Winter ?
Can anything be run through the Carb, such as STP Carb cleaner or other solvent, to flush out contaminants ? Or might this damage seals ?

RE: Carburetor Flush ?
If it's gasoline, not methanol fuel, you'll probably be ok just running the engine dry. I wouldn't store it the whole winter without starting it a few times. Actually, why store during winter, unless you live in Alaska. Fly, fly, fly!
