The WORST THING you can do is start them up every once every two weeks... you NEED to put them through a DUTY CYCLE,,, like driving them around for a half hour or so... A By Product of combustion is WATER.... EVERYTHING doesn't reach operating temperatures enough to remove the moisture....It sits in the engine and DESTROYS the bearings... kinda RUSTS THEM REALLY BAD...ALCOHOL in GASOILNE ATTRACTS WATER.. The water turns into BOOGERS and plugs your pilot jets. STABIL OR NOT you have a LEAN CONDITION.. ESPECIALLY if you don't clean out the carbs EVERY SEASON !!!!! Here's the skinny on Yamalube..... CITGO makes YAMALUBE.. it is the EXACT SAME STUFF as about FIFTEEN OTHER BRANDS.. SAME VAT AND SAME DRUMS OF OIL.... I looked at farm and Fleet today and saw it for 15.00 a gallon.. SAME STUFF as YAMALUBE....

DUDE, i run them for ten to fifteen minutes each time. i cant ride them because they will tare up the "F"ING lawn! i make sure every thing is warmed up! all they do is sit in the enclosed trailer. plus my tank is on "E" so. I THINK RUNNING THEM EVRY DAMN WEEK IS BETTER THEN FOGGING THEM AND LETTING THEM SIT AND DO NOTHING!!!!!!! :eek: SO YOU POEPLE TELL ME WHAT IS BETTER RUNNING THE DAMN THING OR LETTING IT SIT!!!!!!!!!! :lol: #$%&* #$%&* :die:

Yep.... A properly fogged engine can pretty much sit forever. 15 minutes of idling gets the top of the engine hot, but the crankcase is barely up to temp. Guess where all the water sits, and where your bearings live...
 
Were Do You Think Your Damn Water Sits When It Is Fogged? Guess What Same Damn Place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
they both start right up and i let them run for like 5 to 10 min. is this ok? if not please tell me.


You asked for a opinion, You got some.
 
thank you guys for helping me. i will cool it down! i will fog the motors next summer. sorry for the language. for the oil i think that it is only good for 80hp is not entirely true. my dad uses in his 19ft nitro bass boat with a 125hp on it. and it runs fine, my point of view is oil is oil. but that is not true also. when it comes to two stroke oil, pick what you think is the best and go from there. thank you for helping me!
 
ya im probably gonna run it till i find out if i got bad oil pump, is there any way to tell? it seems to smoke allot, i just finished paying it off and brought it home today and it smokes way more than my 500 twin
