Small engine question, does a few drops of gas in the spark plug holedo long term damage
When i haven't used a tool in a few months and it is hard to start, i find that
Taking out the spark plug, and putting a few drops of gas in there, and replacing the Plug, helps get it started. The question is, can this do long term damage? It less than 1/2 a thimble i put in. I know too much gas could hydrolock which would be bad so I keep it too a very small amount. Can the gas wash the oil off the cylinder walls and cause Excess wear? I don't see how that could happen.
