I also use the fogging oil. If your auto parts store doesn't have it, go to a 
boat supply place. I've been told that boaters, when prepping for the winter, 
spray the fogging oil into the carb until the engine quits. This results in a 
healthy coating inside the intake and the cylinders. I haven't done it that 
way, but I do shoot it in the plug holes as Jack described.
