Yes, but do the gas engines like idling all night (or day) keeping you warm or cool while you sleep?
Thanks!

Keep in mind that gas engines have been fuel injected now for something like 30 years. No more carbs. Idling isn't a problem.

Didn't realize the injectors are what made the idling possible.
Thanks!

You didn't do anything wrong, col there just hit the wrong quote button.
BUT seeing the injector thing came up, I'm trying to figure that one out too, never heard of it.

Or, maybe I'm just whacked out of my head...
Well...yes...you are whacked out of your head.
I brought it up in response to the question of idling a gas engine. Back in the days of the carbuerator(screw it, I can't spell it), people just didn't idle them for 8, 10, 14 hours at a crack. Carbs just didn't work that good. You may have gotten by using an idle stick to raise the idle, but most likely it would have started to idle rough, the stick would slip and the engine would stall. Then you'd be trying to start a flooded engine. That's changed with fuel injection. I believe that's where the old conventional wisdom of gas engines not being able to take idling came from.

if u use Marvel Mystery Oil,u wont have carb problems,,What about cop cars of the past? They idled a lot.
Never heard of this but I guess without controlling the mixture tightly, like with a fuel injected engine, the carbs just fed the engine with fuel based on the idle mixture control with nothing else.
