Couple of days ago I got my carbs back from overhaul. They look spiffy and according to the guy that worked on them the main jets were about half way gunked up. That could have been the problem with getting over ~60 mph.
Due to crazy domestic schedule I won't be able to get them installed for at least a couple of weeks. And I want to replace the coolant hoses and elbows as well before I drop the carbs in.
So my question is can I leave the carbs "dry" as in they have been ultrasonically cleaned and bench balanced, or should I at the very least pour some gas in the bowls to maybe prevent the new seals, o-rings etc from drying up? Am I overthinking this? TIA
