Default Winterization

First post here and first time winterizing a bike. I ran sta-bil, changed the oil. The owners manual said to put a tablespoon(!) of oil in the cylinder and crank it over with the plug installed. I kicked it over twice and then it wouldn't kick again, like it was seized up. Pulled out the plug and kicked it over-nice, due to no plug. Put it back in and kicked it twice and it was seized. I'm concerned now for what will happen next spring. Will it kick over or will it seize? Now after reading around, I see fog oil is reccommended. Will that oil drain down and then burn off?
