Group,
In the Rotax engine manual for my 447 it says to put 3 cm of
preservation
oil into the carb and run briefly before shut down if you dont plan to run
it for at least a week to 4 weeks. I have not been doing this and feel it
is
more important than ever with mandatory alchohol in our gas here. What do
you use for preservation oil? Will Marvel Mystery oil serve the purpose??
Any suggestions?

Ed. My first thoughts to this is to go by a marine store that deals with
outboards and ask for a can of fogging oil.... it is designed to be
injected into a running engine just before shutdown, and is designed to coat
all the innerds to keep the rust off. You will know you have enough about
the time you cant see for the dense smoke... you will see it again when you
start it back up..
