He talked to a Merc Racing tech who said it was just fine to fog the FI motors that way as opposed to the oil in the fuel method. One more question. If the fogging oil mucks up the plugs.....would it be better to change the plugs after firing up the engines in spring?? |
Re: Is this motor winterized safely?
Thats what i do Mac after i start it in spring i change the plugs. Some times the fogging oil
does not burn off !!! and fouls the plug |
