>Folks:
Before I go out and identify all the difficult ways, which I historically
am very good at doing, I thought I'd solicit a response for an easy way:
I'd like to drain the float bowls of the carbs on my '71 TR6 before I add
oil to each cylinder and store it for the winter.

Don't bother. They will leak down soon enough.
Seriously, though, If you have "stabilized" fuel in the carbs there should
be no untoward effects from an extended rest. I stored my 71 TR6 in a
warehouse from last November until July 3 of this year. I did NOTHING
about stabilizing the fuel, or draining the carburettors and the only
problem I had was the battery died (it was 6 years old, after all). The
TR6 came with an evaporative loss control system which does a good job of
preserving the freshness of the fuel over fairly long periods of time.
What you have done so far is fine.
