Fogging Oil and Tire Stem

[DBLD]

Hi,<br /><br />1994, 88hp SPL Johnson. I am winterizing and have fogging oil can that attachs to the tire stem-like fitting above the carbs. I have never fogged this way before, I have always just shot the oil into the cylinders through the spark holes. Any advice?<br /><br />That stem has a red attachment on there - in which position should that red piece be, and what does it do anyway?<br /><br />Thanks!

DBLD <br /><br />The red lever you are referring to is your manual enrichment. (Your engine does not have a choke)<br /><br />Attach the can to the schrader valve, fire up the engine and run it until it smoke very heavily or stalls out. Shut it down, you're done.

Thank you!<br /><br />Should the enrichment lever be in a certain position for this process, or do I just leave it alone? When would I use that lever - just curious?

hello<br /> place the lever in the normal operating position. fog it good and the fogging part is done. make sure you have stabilizer in the gas. good luck and keep posting
