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

I think you are worrying to much.. if the can says "fogging oil" just buy it and fog the innards as suggested and spray cylinders walls 360 degrees with the piston at bottom dead center (vs TDC). Stabalize the fuel with known products .

I have always stored my engines fully fuelled and stabilized to prevent the carbs from drying out
never had any issues (same with lawn tractors weed eaters chain saws etc…)

in my 50 years of motoring the only issue I ever had was my oiler for my Merc 50 (that gray plastic box in series with the fuel line) Somehow water condensated inside and I ended up with 1/2 inch of water which my engine told me in no uncertain terms. Found a similar problem in the neighbor’s oil tank on a 40 hp Merc.
