OK, finally got launched yesterday.
Had all the mechanical stuff done in advance, so it was just a matter of turning the key, and zoom! Only Needed 3 seconds of cranking and the old A-4 roared to life.
My question to the group is how long should it take to burn off the " fogging" spray I used in the fall, and as it burns off what typically should the color be?
NOTE- I am a self confessed OVER KILL kinda guy....shameful, but I'll still break of nuts and screws because tighter is better. In the fall, after stalling out the engine with fogging spray, I doused each cylinder, and then went back at the carb for good measure. All in about 1/2 a standard size can used.
I have never before seen any amount of blue smoke from the exhaust , and yesterday I saw for the first time a minor amount for upwards to 10 minuets of gently idling. The exhaust smoke diminished after the first 10 mins., but never completely disappeared
I had a old timer inform me that all the winterizing spray should be burnt off in seconds. I would think the spray should burn off as white smoke....yes?
I'm hoping this isn't the beginning signs of a major overhaul.
Any insight you can share would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Jimmy
