I have an Edelbrock AVS2 carb that has been in use on an engine for several months. I want to try out a different carb. How can I store this near new carb so that it will be ready to use in a year?
 
2 choices
1 leave non ethanol treated gas in it
2 empty it after running non ethanol treated gas thru it is what i would do wrap it up put it away
 
The problem is the acc pump plunger cup. It will dry out & shrink; when the carb is re-fitted, no pump shot. Best to loosen the air horn screws & dribble ATF into the pump chamber to lube the plunger cup.
