I bought a rebuilt Thermoquad that has very low miles on it since being redone. It will be a while before I get my engine built and I will need to store it. Will it be ok wrapped up in bubble wrap while being stored in a box for a while?

Sounds fine ...... a TQ does not have the shrinking-gasket-issues like the Berri crab does. Just put fuel into it(through the vent tubes) ...a couple of hours before you want to fire it up.

Probably ok as Doc says. My answer to this question when customers ask is simple, leave it in the plastic bag I deliver them in and keep it in a cool, dry, dark place such as a finished basement or garage shelf. The bags are twisted shut and taped, not air tight but not a lot of air exchange either. The biggest issue with carbs (especially in humid climates like East of the Rocky Mountains) is oxidation of the aluminum. Storage in climate controlled conditions helps avoid this and other potential issues.

I run quaility fuel Stabilizer in my test engine gas so they have an extra protectant in the fuel to help prevent dry gasket issues. To date I have not had any customers report start up leaks or related issues after long term storage using the above method.

Yep, bag it as Scott said and keep it upright so there is no weight from the floats on the needles against the seats, David.

Ps: when you do use the carb it will look and work right when stored properly!
