I'm reading other posts so I think it's the de-carbing/fogging port. The motor has been sitting for 5 years. When I get it running should I de-carb it before I get going this spring? Anything I should know, procedure, what not to do etc.

thanks

if you use the fogging port, get a can of BRP engine tuner , it has a hose and connects to the valve. follow direction on the can.

yes, do it before you start using the motor.

When you say, 'if you use the fogging port' I guess you mean I can also just spray it in the carb..? or is the shrader valve there for a good reason. I guess I need a little talking to on this. What's the deal?

the shrader valve is for decarbing and for fogging.

i you use Seafoam you follow this technique.

Decarb, take a can of seafoam put 3/4 of it in the gas tank, with only 1 gallon of premixed gas. put the rest in a spray bottle. start the engine, and let it come up to temperature. then remove plugs, and them some real good shot of seafoam into the cylinders, replace plugs, let sit 15 minutes. restart, and spray the rest of the seafoam into the carbs, so the the motor almost stalls, wait and repeat until the seafoam is gone.then take for a wide open spin. then put in new plugs, ad premixed gas to the tank, and take it for a wide open throttle spin. it is going to smoke like a house on fire, during this process.

Of course this is for a two stroke right..? Just making sure. I've been known to make an fool of someone I know well.

This is about what I do to my old trucks and it works great and they're of course four strokes.

Thanks again for your time,
