Hello All!!
I want to share with you what I did last fall and preparing my speedster for the winter.
I found this method here on this forum.. My concern is I did not pinch any hoses..
Im I ok or ??
1) Add fuel stabilizer to prevent condensation in gas tank
2) Run engine briefly to flush stabilized gas through injectors and carb
3) Disconnect hose that flows water into the cylinder head – one with arrow pointing into cylinder head
4) Place a separate hose hooked up to a funnel onto the cylinder head where you just removed the previous hose
5) Have another person hold the funnel and get ready to pour RV antifreeze into it
6) Put bucket under flushing connector on transom to catch water / antifreeze
7) Start engine (10sec or so), water usually comes out of the flushing connector on transom
8) Have person holding funnel start to pour antifreeze into funnel
9) Antifreeze should start coming out flushing connector on transom
10) Have person continue pouring antifreeze into funnel slowly
11) Once you see this I spray fogging oil into the air intake silencer cover
12) I keep spraying until engine starts to bog a little
13) Keep spraying while it bogs to ensure it gets into cylinder walls and coats everything
14) Then spray good and stall engine completely – does not take much
15) Remove hose with funnel and reinstall hose you first disconnected
16) Repeat for second engine
Special Notes
- Total time 5 minutes / motor
- In spring, engine smokes a lot at initial start up. Lets me know that I coated everything good.
- Don’t use new sparkplugs when fogging or at initial spring start up. Burn everything off first and then put your new plugs in to kick off the year.
