With the engine cover removed,start engine on the water muff and run until it reaches operating temp.Leaving the primer's red lever in the 'run' position connect the fogging oil line to the schrader valve of the primer solenoid. Give a two second blast for each cylinder(6) waiting about 2 seconds between blasts.Then give a final blast of 20 seconds or until engine stalls.Be careful around the rotating flywheel.

Make sure you have some type of fuel stabilizer in the whole fuel system before doing this. Forget about the short blasts. Just do a good long blast and wait for the mtr to start to pick up some rpm after you do this and then shoot the oil into it till it quits. On the two second blasts you don't know which cyl is getting the oil or which one isn't.

The two second blast waiting two seconds between is not intended to target each perspective cylinder but rather to distribute oil throughout until the final stalling blast.Some engines will stall out well before the 20 second duration final blast can be delivered.
