[Shannon Daves]

I have seen much abuot fogging the cylinders. What does this mean? I kno if I dont ask while I am thinking about it I might forget this winter.

Scooby,fogging is oil that you spray in the cylinders and carbs to keep your rings from sticking,and cylinders from getting rusty.Look in the grab bag section,It's a very simple process.

I looked in the grab bag section and couldnt find it.

Sorry,I thought it was in there.Allyou do is get a can of fogging oil from your local dealer.

1.Remove the cowling and airbox cover.

2.Hook up the water and run the motor.

3 Un plug fuel line while motor is idling.

4 start spraying fogging oil into carbs in quick bursts(the motor will try to stall and smoke really bad)spray enough to bog motor without stalling.

5 keep diong this until all the gas in the carbs is gone(motor finally stalls).

6 Remove spark plugs and fill cylinders with fogging oil.

7 put everything back together.

When you finally run it at first it will smoke Very badly,do not baby it,run the snot out of it to clean off the plugs.

I would like to add.. After you fog the cylnders but before you reinstall your plug.. REMOVE IGN KEY.. put engine in gear and turn the prop a few times to coat entire cylnder wall.. Not sure if it helps but I do it any way..
