Todd,
I stored my Ambo for 5 years with a full tank and stabilizer with no problems. Drain the carbs by undoing the nut on the bottom of each bowl, that way you get all the gas out and it will not harden up.

Subject: Storing Eldorado
At present I have an Eldorado that is in storage.
Has not been run for a year. Battery is pulled
and gas tank is full of fuel and gas stabilizer.
I have no plans on running it for at least a year,
probably 2. Questions are:
1. Should I drain tank and carbs?
2. What's the best way to prevent corrosion
in empty gas tank?
3. I have Del Ortos, is the most distal nut on the
carb the one to remove to drain the carb?
Any words of wisdom will be appreciated.
All the Best,
Todd
