Russ Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 Wet season this way is about to begin, and we will probably head off several times, here n there. My question.........is there a proven product to spray into running engine via carburettor that will protect the bores etc, at shutdown. russ

Russ Posted December 25, 2015 Author Posted December 25, 2015 thanks for that, but i was seeking the aerosol method, considering mixing a cocktail of 2 stroke into a squirty bottle, and into the carb it goes.
Old Koreelah Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 I have no expertise, but before shutdown I have been squirting 2t oil via an injector tube just downstream of the carby. How much to inject? I just run it hard (tethered to something solid) until lots of blue smoke belches out. Following recent advice from this forum I have switched to marine 2t. Trouble is, it's smokeless, so you have to guess when to stop squirting.
facthunter Posted December 26, 2015 Posted December 26, 2015 I'd be a little careful injecting things into a running motor. Some ordinary oils would lower the octane so much it may just want to diesel and run on. Good two stroke oils don't lower octane and the marine ones often have more corrosion inhibitors..Nev
Old Koreelah Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Just a little spray of marine 2T oil into the high-speed intake. I'd much rather nikasil bores like my Guzzi...
