Fish4Eyes Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I have attached a pic, can someone please mark up where I spray the fogger? Does the filter (infront of the carbs) need to be removed to do this (i labelled it with the blue arrow). Do these motors have the maintenance valve to spray the fogger? Thanks.

Fish4Eyes Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Ive been reading, and its saying to fog the cylinders as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 best to do this with the engine running (need water mufflers). You basically spray into the carb until the motor starts bogging out ready to stall. Shut the motor down and then take out the plugs and spray a bit in each cylinder. I crank it over once more just to move the pistons around - don't fire it up again though or it will brun off the fogging. With that you'll be good till spring. Don't forget to add gas stabilizer to the tank too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daplumma Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 You need to remove the "filter"and spray into the the carbs until it is choking out.Cut off motor and pull the plugs.Squirt some into each cylinder and turn motor over by hand.

aniceguy Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 with my fuel injected engines I have had I just shot through the plugs no where else.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 There should be a "tire valve" type fitting somewhere on the other side of the motor. The fogging can from OMC, sorry BRP, has a fitting that threads right on that valve. Follow the directions on the can and you're done. You shouldn't have to remove the air filter or the plugs.

DanD Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Both ways are a good piece of maintenance but fogging on a 4 stroke is about the only way you’re going to get oil on the valve guides and stems. A 2 stroke’s valuing already has oil on them via the fuel mix. Just remember liquids do NOT compress; so be careful not to spray too much of anything at once; it’s amazing what 1500rpm and a hydrostatic lock can break or bend. LOL Dan.

Sinker Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 I've never fogged a motor in my life, and I haven't had any issues with mine. I think its over rated myself. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish4Eyes Posted December 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) For those who still need to winterize, take a look at your choke switch, the "maintenance valve" is attached directly below it (on some motors) it looks like a tire valve, like mentioned above. Saved me alot of work. Lower unit screws requiring a 2-3mm depth flathead is another story.....lol. Edited December 1, 2009 by Fish4Eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
