winterizing - fogging

[deppong3]

Is it necessary to fog the carburators. Is pulling the plugs and spraying a little inside the cylinders good enough. What does the shop manual say? Thanks!

Hello;<br />By only spraying oil into the cylinders you only lubricate the cylinder walls, and really not all that well.<br />By injecting the fogging oil through the carbs or intake, while the engine is running, you protect the entire crankshaft, bearing surfaces, cylinder walls exhaust area's etc..<br />If you were to refer to a manual, I know OMC recommends mixing a brew consisting of a variety of things. Follow the instructions provided with the can of fogging oil and you will do just fine.<br />Good Luck,<br />Rob
