I don't think gasoline in the carburetor serves as a rust preventative. Rust means there was water in the carb.
The carb was dripping gas when it was running. I took the carb apart. Ordered a new gasket and I'm going to replace the shut fuel shutoff.
Carb is always full of fuel when on the tractor. On the workbench no fuel and on the third day carb bowl started rusting. Gas may not be a rust preventive however gas prevents the moisture in the air from getting to the carb. Also gas fumes may displace air too.
Once again, moisture in the air is my problem.
The air vent in my Jubilee's valve cover is next to my #4 exhaust valve, the exhaust valve that was stuck open.
When moisture gets under the distributor cap on my GMC, I have to get AAA to give it a ride home and replace the cab. It happens about every 2 years in February when we have high humidify and about 35 degree temp swing..
