I used to put a bit of motor oil in the sparkplug holes of my old British
Seagulls...now, with my 25 hp 2stroke Johnson, I spray fogging oil into 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? :)

Yeah, but no mosquitoes for about a week.....

That would be from the oil slick covering the surface of the water.

Also, a good friend and auto mechanic suggested removing the plugs on the
outboard, spraying the cylinders with WD40, spinning the engine a couple

Yep, I think that is exactly what YOU should do.

Everyone else should use the proper fogging oil that actually sticks
to surfaces for more than a few hours, and does some good. WD40 will
actually dilute and wash off any crankcase oil that remains on
surfaces, so it's worse than doing nothing.

Bet you didn't know Herring was a highly trained and edumacated combat
injuneer, thanks to the US Army. He's one of the reasons why we got our
asses kicked in Vietnam.

You are sick. You know it was a Democrat President and Congress that called
the shots. And didn't Ladybird own a large part of Sealand and Bell
Helicopters?

Startron.

No WD40 - it's a solvent. For four strokes, fog the engine with
fogging oil.

Change the gear oil.

Or better yet, take it to your mechanic and have him/her do it.

Couple of hundred bucks and you don't have to worry about it.

Thanks for sending that along. Nothing I'm interested in though.

First we have JohnnyPrepH telling Richard who to talk to, and now we have
you trying to tell Tom his opinion.
Last I heard, they haven't enlisted in your Dunce Army.

Once again, in your haste to try and please your lover/clone/master
Harry, you've failed miserably. Notice: I replied to Harry, not Tom.
So, how the hell could I have possibly been "trying to tell Tom his
opinion"?
