I'm going through my first winterization. From the many posts I've read, I feel lucky that I can get to all sides of the engine fairly easily....just have to remove the back seat bulkhead which is just dozen screws.
I got through all the filter changes and oil changes and next in line was to fog the engine. I removed the flame arrestor and started the engine. I went to spray the fog in to the carb and the engine did not stumble nor did I see smoke coming out of the exhaust. I sprayed right in to the butterfly valves and nothing. I also wasn't looking at the exhaust and maybe I was expecting a big cloud of smoke.
Maybe there is mixed opinions about this, but the instructions on the fogging oil say to remove the spark plugs and spray in to the cylinders and crank the engine a few turns. I have not done this.
I may have jumped the gun after this step and drained the block and filled with AF. So I don't know if I'm ok, or do I need to buy some more AF and do a do-over of the fogging.
Thanks.
