That will spread oil all over the inside of the cylinder and maybe even use a rag to keep from oiling everything on the outside of the cylinder. This method is way easier than shaking the motor around in all directions like some other small engine versions of oiling the cylinder walls.

Will try. What would be the cranking / starting process? How long for each crank and delay to cool down the starter? I am trying right now with a battery booster and that gives me around 15 tries of 5 secs. Would getting a jump from another car help? I am reading heat would also have an effect on start because of expansion of metals.
Also, I am using a starting fluid not to flood the engine again. Any keys on how much of it to use each time?
Thanks,
