Sorry to hear about your prob. here

[morgans]

I was actually picturing reaching in there with a tweezers or something like the grabber above. I have a dental instrument mirror I use to see behind things but I don't think it would help much with this one. I hated that Operation game-- not a very steady hand. more

ok, so what happens if he doesnt find it-cant see it, tries everything possible and its still in there.

Sorry to hear that. I winterized this weekend and made sure to hold the little red straw with my fingers when spraying the fogging oil due to your post. Let us know how you get it out. [links]

[Mr Nice]

I agree, you should try to turn the engine by hand to get the cylinder on Top Dead Center (TDC). There is not much room in the cylinder head and you should be able to see it then and then find a way to remove it. Not sure the shop vac will work unless somehow the straw lines up perfectly.

Would it be safe to add Sea Foam directly into each cylinder through the spark plug holes to soak piston rings? more

[rodrick3nie]

Thanks for the question Robert. Yes, it is safe to add Sea Foam through a spark plug hole. Mechanics have used this method for decades to free stuck rings and clogged expander rings. How to do it: Remove the spark plugs and pour Sea Foam into each cylinder cavity through the plug hole. [Note that it’s easier to use Sea Foam Spray.] Let the engine sit and soak up to 3 days (if you have the time). Be sure to crank the engine once a day to loosen the rings. You can also add a little more Sea Foam to each cylinder each day as it sits. Adding Sea Foam to the crankcase oil helps, too!

Last year I used Sea Foam in my ’81 Honda 500 Enduro after a cylinder lost compression. I let is soak for a few hours and my compression came back. Rode it all summer. It sat over the winter and lost compression again. Now I’m taking my time with it and letting it soak longer. After 24 hours it’s already working better! I’m going to give it a good multi-day soak, cranking the engine daily like Jim said. I expect that will at least get me through the summer. It’s good stuff. It works. more

Thanks for the reply. What kind of oil do I use and what method is used to fog it into the cylinders and where would I find this item? more

[Warz]

We have a dehumidifier that runs regularly in our basement so I was thinking that may help keep moisture out of the cylinders as well. The outboard in question is a 1955 5.5hp Johnny.

Injected or carbed doesn't matter, you pull the plugs and do it and no I wouldn't run the engine out ot gas, get the Stabil in and run it for a bit to ensure it is up to the injectors and you should be good. more

I live in Michigan and would be right at the treshhold of 4 months without use. so I'm trying to decide whether or not I should just put it in the basement for the winter or keep it in the garage?
