How to start a 2 Stroke thats been sitting THE EASY WAY - DIY
DIRECTIONS:\r
Take your MIX oil from either the jug, or your resivour, drop about a teaspoon worth into each cylinder, put the spark plugs back in and as long as you have gas up to the carb or injectors it will fire right up generally. The oil creates a barrier between the rings and the cylinder wall, creating compression, especially on an engine that hasnt ran in quite a while, or if you have rolled or stalled your sled and it wont start because the cylinder walls have been washed with gas and there is no compression. So far this works on 2-stroke like dirt bikes and snowmobiles and four stroke engines such as a fourwheeler. Also worked on my old lawn mower. I have only tried this with the MIX oil that I use in the sled, not regular motor oil, and unsure if regular oil would work the same? Comments would be great. Just thought I would share the trick.
