Fogging a 98 Ficht, Seahorse Help!

[bass66]

There are two threaded stem valves on top of the block, behind the air box on the 98 Ficht (175), one vertical, one horizontal. Can either of these valves be used to inject fogging fluid into the system for winterizing. Thanks, Kurt.

NO, NO, NO!!!<br /><br />Those are for taking high and low fuel pressure readings.<br /><br />You fog the motor by spraying fogging oil thru the throttle bodies. If you do it on a flusher, the motor will race a bit as the fluid reaches the combustion chamber. It is sometimes easier to run the motor in gear tied to a dock, in fresh water, and spray the oil in.

Oh Geez, thanks. That's how I've always winterized, right into the cylinder. Just looking for a shortcut. Thanks again.

hello<br /> be aware that seahorse may have understated "race a bit" <br /> we had some fogging oil that the propane propellent made it race a buch . but do be aware that if it has "fuel" it will speed up.
