Im switching my 400 over to alcohol today and taking it down to Florence this weekend to dial it in,but Im not sure how you guys purge your carb when your done riding.Do you purge it after a weekend of riding or every nite when your done,also do you fill the carb with gas and run it then dump the gas out.Any help,tips or advice with running an alky setup would help out alot.

Thanks,Tom

I purge every night. Use a small 20 oz coke bottle or something, bore a hole in the cap the size of your fuel line, and stick a 3-4 foot peice in the cap. Fill the bottle with premix (even in a 4 stroke I'm told to use premix?) and run that 15-20 oz of gas through the engine.
