Crap, did i ruin my engine?
« on: January 20, 2008, 05:06:45 pm »
Hey guys, i put fogging spray into the spark plug holes like it says on the bottle, and sprayed some in the carbs! Then someone told me you cant put fogging spray in legends motors? What gives! whos right and whos wrong ? someone please let me know before i shoot someone being that i just spent $2000 on a chassis/suspension/brake overhaul and now have NO money to fix a motor. Please help asap....Tyler


the age old saying: Speed Costs--How fast do you want to go>? Thank god this isn't true for legends because i have no money!

I don't see a problem, if so, I guess I'll need a motor too!  The ONLY thing I can think of would be if you used a TON of fogger and then put your oil in and ran the season, maybe it would affect the clutch performance???Its a motorcycle engine, and people have fogged and stored their motorcycles for thousands of years. Well, maybe not thousands, but the Packers lost, so time's not relevant anymore until the season starts in May. If you're nervous, getting ready for the season, just fill-er up with some regular oil, run it for a minute or so, then drain it and change the filter. Thats what I do after storage anyway, you never know how much condensation you're gonna get over winter, especially here in Wisconsin where its -7 and the Packers lost.

Just my 2 cents, you can have them since the Packers lost

Here in Canada, Giants are mythical beings and packers work in grocery stores and butcher shops.  Now if you want to talk hockey...  You'll have to talk to someone else since Legends is all I've got time for right now!

Mike ;D

Hmmm, sounds like Mike the crazy Canuck has a heated garage...I havent been able to touch my car in months! We all need something to occupy our minds in this 7 month off-season :P

Anyway, our AHL hockey team sucks this year

Down here in St. Louis, we are just thrilled to see two nearby teams like New York and Boston go at it.  Wake me up when the game is over.  :)

Yup.  Got me a nice heated garage.  When I built the addition and garage, I installed radiant heat in the concrete.  Nice work area.  In the middle of body work and painting now.  :D

I might take you up on the offer, there will be alot of intelligent people moving out of here if Billary Clinton or Hussein Obama scam their way into the presidency :'(

S'pose this is no place to start a political debate so I shall stop right here, log off, and look at my pile of parts that used to be a car as I back out of the garage for another day of work ;D
