What I have been taught about snowmobile engines I would imagine applies to all 2-strokes. If you don't provide some lubrication for the cylinder walls and crank case over and above the oil in the gas you can get rust on the walls or worse in the bearings when those items go dry from long storage. The reason for fogging, and not just spraying down the plug holes, is that it is probably more important to protect the bearings. If you get a touch of rust on the cylinders walls and run the engine it might only loose you some compression. If you get a little rust on the bearings you are likely looking at tearing the motor down after the rust scores the bearing.
