On Mon, 18 Jul 2016 15:39:29 -0400, Poquito Loco - show quoted text - "I never got in that 2 stroke, 4 stroke "oil" thing. I just watched. For the purposes of "winterizing" that is really more of a 2 stroke thing since a 4 stroke has a sealed crank case. I have still heard of shooting in fogging oil but I am not sure why. If you do anything, you pull the plugs and squirt some oil in each cylinder, spin it over a few times, reinstall the plugs and expect a smoky start. More important is to drain the gas from the VST or carb bowls. E-tec sells an auto winterizing feature that basically shuts down the ignition, while it maxes out the oil injector and you get a dose of very rich fuel while it is cranking down. (Basically like fogging until it stalls) That still does not address the fuel gelling in the system." My last two motors (both new) want you to add stabilizer to your gas and then to run this gas through your motor. This is in addition to replacing the engine oil, lower end oil and fuel and oil filters. In addition, some greasing etc. I have the dealership do my winterizing until the warranties have expired....just so they have no excuse to invalidate the warranty. |

You would still need to shoot some 50:1 in there with the lanyard out before you tried to fire it. It is better to just use fogging oil although the E-tec just does it with a rich gas/oil mix. Are you talking two- or four-stroke? Remember, the last time we discussed oil you thought I had a two-stroke. I never got in that 2 stroke, 4 stroke "oil" thing. I just watched. For the purposes of "winterizing" that is really more of a 2 stroke thing since a 4 stroke has a sealed crank case. I have still heard of shooting in fogging oil but I am not sure why.

At the time you thought my Yamaha was a 2 stroke. |

I know several people in my area who have used it for years on two and 4 stroke engines with no problems. I myself have never fogged an engine, only used fuel stabilizer. My small boat with the 3.o sat for almost 2 years. I filled it with premium gasoline, put a battery in it, it cranked over a bit. and fired. Engine never stuck. Honestly, I never have understood the idea of 'fogging' for an engine in short term (less than 1 year) storage anyhow. |

It's be worth the lunch just to see you strap a @50 CID Chevy 6 on your back. LOL |

The John flushes....
"It was your comment to be sure and use 2 stroke oil that got Donnie started on the whole thing. At the time you thought my Yamaha was a 2 stroke." Quit weaseling out and blaming it on Greg. As I remember it, you were asking advice on winterizing your Yamaha outboard. |
