I seem to remember the issue where your engine was locked. What caused that? Anyone?

dunno....
not a TON of fuel in the bowl but you are right.. probably a good idea.... couple ounces in the bowl.... some got past the rings.... some stayed inthe cylinder... then went out the exhaust valve...... hmmm..... few ounces / 9 qts or so of oil - probably not a huge issue.... |
