it turns! yay!<\/p>\n
I got a neat little funnel that was really a like a bendy straw with lots of bendys. Well, it seemed perfect, I can stick another funnel in the top of it, and I used it to pour MMO into the cylinders tonight. Didn’t really work that well though. I think there wasn’t enough force for it to really make the uphill slant, plus if you stuck the end tight into the spark plug whole, I think the liquid had a hard time displacing the air, as the air had no place to go. Anyways, I overfilled the cylinders, that is, probably 2-4 tablespoons each. Then I sat for fifteen minutes. Then I sprayed WD40 again. I waited another 15 minutes and turned the engine over by hand and it moved as easy I would expect it to normally, basically requiring a 1\/2″ breaker bar, but I didn’t have to use a pipe on the breaker bar or anything. At first I heard a bunch of water come out, then what I assumed was last nights liberal application of WD40. After a minute no liquids could be heard anymore.<\/p>\n
Then I reapplied MMO and WD40, waiting a bit and tried turning it over. At first the started seemed to stall like it was stuck and over-drawing (lights dimming more than they should). About the third try it turned just a little. I flicked the ignition a few times and it got a couple good gos, which all sounded normal. After than every turn of the engine went fine, with the engine turning over fairly normally. Or as normally as I could expect, as I’m not that used to listening to an engine turn over without plugs.<\/p>\n
I’ll wait until tomorrow night or whenever so the WD40 can evaporate and whatever MMO that got into the cylinders can settle. I’ll turn it over a little more, then put the plugs back in and see if it’ll fire up. Assuming it does, I’ll run it for a few, drive it to the autoparts store and get new plugs and another change of oil, come home and change those. Glad to hear it turn today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
