?? Just fogged both of my carb

?? Just fogged both of my carberated inboard engines with Starbrite fogging oil in a black can. When sprayed in carbs there was no smoke coming from exchaust. In past I have used another brand and when i sprayed in carbs I had all kind of smoke from exhaust. Is this normal for this brand not to smoke when sprayed in carbs ???? Thanks Mike
