i got some after run oil for my new engine as i want to keep it in best condition. and stop internal rust. am i right in saying after each day of running i pinch the fuel line. burn all the exess fuel in the engine. put a few drops down the carb and a few drops down the glow plug hole and give it 5pulls on the starter?
Yes, sounds good. I don't usually put any down the carb, as it involves removing the air filter and if you're not careful, you can get dirt/dust in the carb. What I do:
1) Burn off any remaining fuel in carb/fuel line
2) Get my air-compressor and give the car a quick blast - gets about 95% of the dirt/dust off.
3) With the glow plug still on, I blast around the glow plug area to make sure all the dirt/dust is gone before I remove the plug.
4) Remove the plug, clean around the hole area with cotton wool sticks and after-run oil.
5) Fire a few drops of after-run oil down the glow plug hole
6) Clean the glow plug in a rag/tissue paper
7) Pop the plug back in and she's good to go.
Whole process takes around 10-15mins...ibut worth it!
