I was attempting to do the usual winterization fogging on my '96 Johnson 88Special. The red air intake valve cap would not unscrew to give me access for attaching the fog oil so I grabbed it with a pair of pliers and the entire valve lifted out. When I jammed the valve back in and turned the valve to accept the fogging oil the oil would not go into the carb and just squirted out onto the boat regardless of which way I turned the valve. Will I now need to replace the air intake valve or should I be able to "work" with it until I get it working again? If I just leave it alone (in place) and perform winterization by removing spark plugs and squirting fogging oil into the cylinders is there any danger while running the motor during next season?
