Engine Fogging

[Weave]

ps no mentioned any where I have found about spraying or not spraying into the trottle body. My opion is not to do it if that what merc wanted they would have said it somewhere also it a long way to the cyliders and there are expensive sensative sensors in the way.

My thoughts exactly.......They're a Regal dealer anyway:smt009

I'll check later, but I believe my Merc. Procedures Manual states the following: add x ounces of 2 cycle merc prem. oil to the fuel/water seperator (mine is the spin on oil filter style) and run engine until blue smoke can be seen exiting the exhaust. Alternatively, you could also hook up a six gallon tank using a mixture of gas/2 cycle oil. As Frank stated, try a search.

Just curious what other people do. At what point do you run the cocktail mix in the fuel/water separator?

Do you first run the cocktail mix with fresh water going through the drives and then after that is complete you run antifreeze through the motors with the muffs on the drives? Or do you run the antifreeze at the same time you are running the cocktail mix in the fuel/water separator?

I have a MPI AlphaOne and I always shoot the fogging spray into the manifold to fog it. I do this while running with the muffs hooked to the anti-freeze jug to suck in antifreeze and fog till she stalls when the antifreeze is just about gone. Never had a problem. This year I did get one alarm going off but I believe it was due to low drive oil reservoir, even though it was barely low. A friend who is a long time boat mechanic said fill it up and sure enough the alarm went away. My boat is 5 years and I have winterizing this way since new.

well that intresting, I'm glad it works for you. But I don't think I'm going to try it.
