Saito 180 Problem
No, you need to pull the fuel line off, or pinch it while the engine is running. The strange thing about 4 strokes though, it has never made a difference for me whether I run the fuel out of it or not. 4 strokes rely on a little bit of "blowby" from the top of the piston, past the ring, and down into the crankcase. There is only oil down in the crankcase after flying. 2 strokes, however, have fuel running through the crankcase before it gets to the top of the piston. That means that unless you burn the fuel out of them each day, the alcohol in the fuel will attract water, and cause the bearings to rust. Bearings are high carbon steel, so they can actually rust overnight if enough water gets to them.
