Re: Best way to preserve/"fog") motors?

[David Stanton]

I never fog my motors and have had no problems, and I’m in Minnesota, but I make sure each running motor gets a good run each summer. If I ever have one that I decide won’t be run for more than a year, then I will consider fogging. You will likely get lot of opinions on this here! I would recommend fogging a 4-stroke, if fact, Yamaha recommends that, besides spraying fog into the carb with it running, after that, you should remove spark plugs and spraying fog in each cylinder, and then turning the motors over a couple times without starting to get the fog circulating on the rings. Don’t forget to put the spark plugs back in. Now Yamaha further states you should spray fog into the carb until the motor quits – I have a bit of a problem with this, because then you can’t run the gas out of the carb.
