"I fogged my engines following
"I fogged my engines following Thermotrons instructions in the owners manual by slowly pouring 20w oil down the carb (6 oz.), then adding the last 2 oz rapidly to stall the engine. Well, all the oil went into the the carb but the engine did not quit and instead knocked rather hard from the back cylinders. I then pulled the center wire on the distributor and it quit. I think I poured in the oil slow enough, except for the last bit. However, I really don't like the idea of oil locking the engine and possibly bending something. I did't want to force it over with the starter after the fact and have decided to pull the plugs in the spring before spinning the motor. It seems the potential for damage by locking the motor is greater than the value of fogging the top end. I've decided to spray some light lube (CRC, etc) down the carb next year instead of pouring the oil. Any thoughts? Tim"
