Default How to properly fog your motors for winter storage

Just a quick picture that shows the proper way we winterize our boats here in upstate NY. This was me fogging my 502's in my old Formula last fall. Never have had an engine failure using this technique.

But then don't you need to use the Bug and Tar Remover in the spring?

I think you are onto something! Pick up a couple of flexible black drain tile/gutter extensions at Lowes/HD and route them directly from the exhaust of your over-oiling two stroke, to 2 & 5/8" in front of your throttle-body/carb. Pre-fogged intake air.

Damn, I wish I would have thought of that before I fooled around with a separate gas tank and that cocktail specified in the owners manual.

Trying to find the video, it's even better. My neighbors hate me. From bike burnouts to launching my turbo sled on the two step in the back yard......they pretty much wanna kill me. I do keep my yard/house looking nicer than all of them though, so I do my part!

I don't have a harley, but the Z06 should do the trick. Thanks for the tip!
