5 or 6 squirts of 5W20 wt. non synthetic engine oil and then spin the motor with all the plugs out five to 15 revolutions and do that again once more before putting the plugs back in up twocents

I've used Marvel Mystery oil in the past and had great results.

When possible I also spray an air nozzle into the spark plug hole to distribute the oil and coat the cylinder with the oil.

Don't breathe the oil mist though. Can't be good for you but neither is most of the stuff we spray.

Fresh battery, plugs out, spin the motor over and spray fogging oil down the carb.

You should see a light mist come out of the plug holes, when you do you are done . Install the plugs and close off the carb.
