[QUOTE="railroad, post: 15675860, member: 13485"] The engine not turning over was probably the result of the hydro lock. A cylinder does not have to be full to lock the engine. The piston cannot compress a liquid. One half an inch, one quarter, one eighth, etc in a cylinder can stop the piston from reaching TDC, when this happens, all rotation is stopped. Fortunately TB cleaner evaps very fast and is thin. Between evap and leaking past the rings, it will dissipate. On the half throttle issue, it could be a puddle in the intake. Adding oil residue to the cleaner will slow the evaporation and it might stay there until the engine goes through a good warm up. ,,,can only guess on his work. good luck, [/QUOTE]
