I used to put a bit of motor oil in the sparkplug holes of my old British

the
carburator until it stalls out and then take the sparkplugs out and spray
the fogging oil in the 2 cylinders.

Take you a couple of days of cranking to get the engine started in the
Spring? :)

Naw..maybe a couple extra pushes on the electric start button and a bit of
smoke when it does fireup.
As for the Seagulls....they always spewed out blue smoke thanks to the 10:1
ratio.
I should clamp the 3 hp Seagull onto the Yukon transom next year just to see
if it still works. Haven't had it running in about 10 years.
