you are NOT supposed to run the engine out of fuel. when you are under throttle it will run the engine lean (not enough fuel and oil) and it will over rev the engine and can actually cause harm and overheating.
actually cause harm and overheating.
5 seconds for your engine to die
when you pinch the fuel line the engine should rev up slightly and die. if it dies very quickly (depending on where you pinch the line) your LSN is to rich, and if it takes over 5 seconds for your engine to die, your LSN is to lean.
when the tank goes out for about a second or two it will seem almost as tho you are full throttle so watch for any trees or poles when it flames out (those poles move fast!)
Reving with no load is bad tho.
err...no.
Yeah, it is going to lean the motor out...
Over rev the engine from being lean..? I'm just going to leave it as that.
Over heat in 5 seconds, really? The temperatures are going to spike, but not enough to damage the piston or sleeve.
If you want to know, yes I am ragging on you. There is a heap of information on this website. There are also individuals that can provide the right info to the posted question. If you don't know the answer to something don't try to answer.
Why dont you try and follow your own advice? He ment that when pinching the fuel line the engine will die, not that it will overheat.. learn to read before you decide to rag on someone that actually knows what they are talking about..

Predat0r, perhaps you're the one that needs to read! gnarkill's response was correct and referred to this statement below by darkslayor24 which is indeed bogus.
A new engine during break-in is the only time I would worry about any lean out issues when the tank runs dry. Even then you shouldn't be on the throttle hard enough anyway to harm anything .
And perhaps you need to read also,
