Put back plug and filter if filter dirty clean with dish soap add filter oil install. Go to YouTube
We all have different ways of duing things
. I'm sure you have great susses with your way of maintaning your engines.
I would NEVER use WD40 or similar products inside an engine. WD40 can loosen carbon buildup and other small particles. When you start the engine next time, those particles can ruin the P/S when they are flushed through the engine...
This is the way I maintain my engines after EVERY raceday:
Get yourself a 5ml disposable syringe and put a 3 cm piece of fuel line on it. Use a 3 mm screw on the end of the tube when you don't use the syringe.
Drive the car to the pit. At idlespeed you take off the fuel line on the carburator (don't touch anything hot or rotating...
). After a few seconds the engine will stop.
Try restart the engine several times untill you can't hear any ignition.
With the syringe and WOT add 1/2 - 3/4 ml AFO through the inlet nipple. Turn the engine for approx. 5 seconds on the starterbox with WOT.
Once again add 1/2 - 3/4 ml of ARO and turn the engine again.
No need to take out the plug and airfilter with the risk of getting dirt inside the engine and oil on the outside of the cooling head.
If you take off the backplate, you'll see a nice layer of oil allover the inside of the engine. No rust and no hydro lock next time you start the engine.
Life is simple
