Has anyone ever used Seafoam before.....

IN the Oil,to clean the Carb, Gas etc.

Any input will be appreciated...

 

Mo,

I additto the fuelin everything I own that runs on gas; bike, boat, car & lawnmower.

I think it makes a difference. A little bit goes a long way.

lol....seriously though...oil, gas, carb, TB, or whatever...put it in EVERYTHING. I used it on my last rebuild, had to take the heads off today to get to my pushrod covers...my plugs, pistons and valves are STILL clean enough to eat off of (after well over 450 miles since rebuilt).

 

It's great with potato's too

 

And fine wine with a hint of 20/50 Full-Syn [8D]

 

Only in the fuel tank the stuff is great! Remember if you use it in the crankcase you have to drain the oil, before riding.

 

So how do you treat your Harley with it? Just dump a 1/2 cup in your gas tank? Pour it in on top of your cylinders? Clue me in guys.

 

I do alot of small engine work, lawn mowers, edgers; that sort of stuff A number of years back I bought a merc 15hp outboard Couple years later and $200 worth of carb work, I started to use a product called, All in One. Comes from a company called Starbrite and was recommended by the mechanic. Have used it in all of my small engines since 1995 and Other than deteriorated , lines, clogged filters or the like I have not had any fuel related problems, even withthe "reformulated" c**p we have around here. All in One, like sea foam is a stabilizer, octane booster, cleaner. But is a little more expensive and less available than seafoam. I recently started using seafoam on engines that show signs of a gummed up carb, ie: won't stay running or won't run except with the choke on. Then I pour a shot glass full in the tank and run the machine. If it is a varnish related issue it usually will help, if it is due to a plugged oriface or jet, no It is time for a teardown. Would I use it in my sportster? Only for the fuel stability issue such as for winter storage if I didn't drain the tank and run out the carb. The stuff is great for gas that sits. If you have an fuel problem that you suspect to be varnish dump some in the tank can't hurt, might help, But unless your bike sits with gas in the tank for long periods, I wouldn't bother. BTW alcohol blends break down much faster than those without

 

i use it, works great, run a fouled up bike with it and just rev it hard and it will clear up fast

 

I put about 2 ounces in my 3.3 gallon gas tankevery 10,000 miles or so. Works great. Idid that again a couple of days ago, just before I headed out for a 3 day bike ride. I noticed a huge difference in the throttle response after the initial tank of gas on that trip.
