While the engine is warm, change the oil.
Pull the plug and spray some fogging oil in the hole, then put the
plug back.
I bought some fogging oil at a garage sale, but never used it. *The
instructions say to spray it in the cylinder, but nothing about the intake.
Whats the point of that?
Poor instructions, you are right.
