I have a 115 that I store for the winter. What does this forum think about fogging the cylinders for the winter. Good, bad.

Fogging is a good idea for any long term storage.

doesn't seem necessary for storage of three months or less, from my experience

Nothing negative should come from fogging. Go for it.

Nothing negative but: fogging tends to foul spark plugs pretty quickly. Then again, sparks are cheap.

I always fogged my two stokes and replaced the sparks come springtime. I kept the previous set as spares.

If you are in a potentially damp climate, fogging really protects against corrosion.

Here in AZ, it's kind of moot as we are extremely dry and we may go boating in January.
