A little bit of fuel ( less than 1 once,) is better than a full bowl that goes skunky.
I run the bowl dry then splash in a couple of oz's of Stabil in the recommended ratio of fuel and then run that dry.
I only do that for my emergency power generator as I have had instances
of carb gumming/white powder, and jet plugging as it sets at times several years between uses,
and a power outage is not the time I want to be fiddling with carb cleaning.
My other equipment that is used yearly or more, I do nothing and have little or no problems.
Just my experience.
