- We gave the completely clogged carbs on the Suzuki a quick going through just to get the thing running, and that worked, but left us with a lean stumble and surge.
After treating 2 tank fills of gas and running about 200 miles, the stumble and surge is gone!

Definitely worth taking a chance with it if you're ever in a similar situation.

I have used it many times. It will work on minor stuff, a little varnish, a tiny bit of water contamination, but it has limits. It will not take those carbs from how they were at the beginning to running fine. Your cleaning is what made the seafoam work.

Truth
Yep
Not true. I had a motor with a rod through the block and the piston bent the valves. It still ran though. Put two cans in the tank cause I knew it was bad and filled it up. Started it and went to work. When I got home it was out of gas but the oil leak stopped. Next day put 2 cans in the crank and did the same. When I got home it ran better then new. It even restored the plug wires.
Ya. Without a powerful solvent or detergent it's smoke and mirrors imo.
What shocks me is that it's 2022 and people are still being shocked that Seafoam actually works. Another one I've had good luck with is Berryman's B12.
Yep. Anything Berryman is mint, chemdip especially. Marvel Mystery Oil also minty.
Mmm 😋 mint
I think because so many products do not work as advertised, or at all, people are surprised when something works!
@@DanEBoyd I really wish you'd have stated that earlier.
I think cause there's a lot of times it really doesn't do anything appreciable, yet it was overhyped for a while.
"I felt stupid buying it!"
UT at the store: I'm buying this for a friend... 😄
Seafoam and some tampons. Lol
UT: "Could you put that Seafoam in a plain brown paper bag please? " 😄
@@1notgilty Better to mail it to me in the bag!
🤣
I never used the SF product until I got into Utility diesel tractors, compactors etc, it is practically a necessary additive for keeping diesels injector systems clean. I have zero problem buying it because it does work preventatively.
I'm 49 years old now. Back in the day when I was 10 years old, my uncle was an aviation mechanic and he recommended using Sea foam on our dirtbikes; it actually worked wonders! The main thing was to actually get it circulating into the systems of any combustion motor including lawnmowers, and it would regulate a smoother idle! Take care uncle Tony, and enjoy!🌄👍
PROJECT FARM did a really good comprehensive comparison video and it was amazing. Good info uncle tony!!!
Project farm is the reason I've bought many products. That dude is a legend
Project farm is the best!
Fort9 did one as well
Yes from memory he compared to Berrymans cemtool and marvel mystery oil and got similar results. I've been using marvel mystery oil and Berryman for decades. 😊
What Seafoam did to the Project Farm Ford Ranger V-6 was amazing. When he started that test, that engine sounded like it was done
Been using Seafoam for 50 years, Works great! I've tried others, didn't work, came back! To the naysayers, my 82 Goldwings carbs were COMPLETELY stopped up and I was looking at $600 - 800 rebuild/cleaning that I could not afford plus a fuel tank replacement ! I rigged up a bottle to fill carb bowls with the seafoam, let sit 3days then drained and refilled, let sit another 2 days drained again, set up temporary tank and ran bike using heavy mixture (I can to 2 gal gas) ran bike for 1 hr at a time 3x a day for about 4 days with it running smoother each day! Last day I rode bike for 2hrs by the end was running great, 2 different friends are bike mechanics and couldn't believe how great it ran, both accused me of secretly having carbs rebuilt, made believers out of them!!
There are a lot of scams out there BUT Seafoam is the REAL DEAL!!
" let sit 3days" yup. this key
Bought a used snowmobile years ago that couldn’t get to 35 mph. Ran a can of sea foam through it and by the end of the tank it was running normal and up to 60 mph. 440 cc fan cooled Polaris.
Did it clean, the fuel tank?
@@billpetersen298 , no the fuel tank was too far gone and I had to replace it! Now that was a job I NEVER want to repeat!!
@@jackedwards7420 Thanks Jack, Finding good condition vintage parts, can be like waiting for the messiah. If you don't want to pay the scalpers. Great bike, happy trails.
I've used Sea Foam for years with great results, especially in small tractor and lawn mower engines. Good stuff.
Their "deep creep" is the best for loosening up cylinders that have been sitting awhile.
👍.. and add some Stabil when they're going to sit a while.
@@outlawbillionairez9780 stabil is a very good product.
@@outlawbillionairez9780 Never needed too, I run the bowl dry upon every use
@@DarkLinkAD that's really the best way 👍😊
When I was a mechanic in the 90's, we used Seafoam in our fuel injection cleaner....worked great!
You just now discovered what many mechanics have known for 50 years.
Tony you’re just about as genuine as a person can be. Thanks for the content.
Wanna buy a bridge ?
Tony is a for real kind of guy. I'm kinda surprised he is so successful with this channel when he doesn't make sponsor bucks.
Proof an Italian can still talk with his hands even when they're full. Good to know it isn't all snake oil
I assume if you watch UTG you know of ProjectFarm. If you don't check it out. He tests a lot of this stuff
@@MP-pz9oe Dude, He is the "Tony" from the phrase Fix It Again Tony
I have been riding since 1970. I have used Seafoam in every motor that gets stored for a season. I have used it for many years and I am a certified mechanic.
I use it every year.
I never believed in Snake Oils but SeaFoam works
My father owned a 1999 Dodge half ton with a 318. By the time it had 40K on it there were issues.
The first time happened while he was visiting his friends back in his home town.
They’re all very technical mechanics. All doubtful of “snake oils” their terms for the like.
One of his good friends that owns a shop out there told him to dump a can in his fuel tank and drive it.
It worked. So about every 3 months the truck would run rough until a can of sea foam was introduced.
He finally resorted to using it every month or so.
It worked well.
Seafoam is a fantastic product. Have been using it for years. Glad you discovered it!
I've used Seafoam for about the last 10-15 years, mostly as a fuel stabilizer at 1 oz per gallon. With the carbureted bikes I used to use Marvel Mystery oil with great results for carbs that weren't behaving. I haven't had a bike without fuel injection for the last 20 years, so all I need now is a fuel stabilizer, and around here we use 100% gas most of the time. Corn belongs on the dinner plate, not in your tank.
You’re lucky to live in a real State, not a Libtard blue one like mine! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I wish we had the good stuff here!
Those farmers are getting rich selling corn that destroys my engines.
Yup, always have to find the non-ethanol for my father machines. It saves a massive headache in cleaning alone. I always add stabilizer, berry man 12, and sometimes an oz of mmo. Mind you, I keep cans filled for some time - for generator, golf cart, mower, and 3 dirt bikes.
With this regime, I haven't had to fully clean a carb in over 10yrs.
I am mindful of regular user of the machines, though
My 50cc moped like all of them have a basic carb no fuel injection, tho the Honda Metropolitan has fuel injection
I use E-10 in all my small engines but I take a lot of precautions. I add sea foam, mix the 2-stroke mixture a half gallon at a time and burn the stuff completely out, leaving none in the tank. Been doing that for 10 years and have had a few problems but nothing I couldn't fix.
B12 or straight acetone are also very good additives to unclog carburators, clean à little bit of crap of the intake valves, etc...
It's not a miracle, but it works!
Because Acetone absorbs water as well as cleaning. Didn't think about burning it!
@@MOTOMINING Acetone is a little bit like ethanol. It's a good fuel but it's very volatile and collect water from the air.
But carefull, acetone kills some paint and tank linings.
How much acetone per gallon?
@@catleugh I used 5% acetone for 95% gasoline.
You just finally found out about Seafoam? I've been using it for years on all my small engine machines. I automatically put it in every gas can that I have for all my small engine needs. I have never had carbureted issues again. It works great for keeping your fuel system from varnishing up. I am not a believer of mechanic in a can but I know this stuff works great. It also works as a stabilizer.
That was the original purpose of Seafoam. It was made to put in a boat engine that had been sitting up for a while. Its great for soaking parts in too.
Yes. That is my understanding, too. Old school, 2 stroke outboard engines, with oil added to the gas. Seafoam was formulated for that specific use. So, should it be used for gas that isn't oily? Is this significant? I add Techroline and Stable to every tank of gas in my wife's Yamaha F90 outboard and my 1990 Suzuki VX 800 along with non ethanol gas. All the cars get plain old 10% corn gas.
Been running it in my bike for years. GREAT stuff. Keeps the top end clean. Shiney clean.
I've been using it for years. Works great. I use a whole bottle for 25 gallons for winter storage and also during the cold winter months in my daily driver.
I've been using seafoam for years, it's amazing stuff. I have a 93 ranger that would pop, fart, and didn't want to idle at all. Gave it the seafoam treatment, and it came right back around to like new. That was 2014, and to this day it still runs just as good. I also recently bought a 67 Impala that had sat since 2012. Same deal it didn't want to stay running, I dumped a can in with a tank of gas, and I've put almost 2,000 trouble free miles on it, and it runs like new.
Chemtool B12 is my go to. '70's and '80's japanese bikes had to meet strict pollution standards, so idle and transition throttle are excessively lean.
Same issue on my 74 Buick thing falls flat on it's face a little seafoam and carb cleaner took that away but I blew a carb gasket in the process, it's always when you try to get ahead you set urself back haaha
@@redlight3932 How my 68 455 Olds was. Fell on its face, quadrajet was lean as heck. The amount of carbon was crazy. Seafoam helped clean a good bit of the carbon out of the intake and heads.
I have several '70s/'80s bikes, all of them have been rejetted, and any emissions crap, live an evap or PAIR system have been removed.
@@geraldscott4302 thank Guad for Vance and Hines and Dynojet!
@@redlight3932 what Buick?
I can't believe you're just learning this. I've used this every time I have a carb that's completely clogged. I put about a quarter of it in the tank with a full tank of gas. I let it sit for about a day then I start it with starting fluid to get it to run for a little then let it sit for another day. Throughout the week I start it and run it each day. By the end of the week it runs like a brand new motor. And, that's without ever pulling and cleaning the carb. I love this shit!
I'm rebuilding a 1971 Triumph T120R. It hasn't been started in 20 years. I take apart the carb because it had been converted to a Tr6 head and saw that there was a lot of dried up white powdery stuff in the bowl. I put some Sea foam in the bowl and could see that the powdery stuff was disappearing. So I put some in the gas tank and ran it for awhile. The longer it ran the better it got. This stuff really works.
I keep it around for small engine stuff. It has worked for me in the past. Not every time, but often enough to add a splash to the lawn mower tank occasionally.
Through a full bottle in your cars tank! Then fill up, !
@@jonellwanger7258 Works for up to 65L which is basically the most many cars have. Realistically, it being diluted a bit too much or too little isnt gonna hurt anything. Stuff works
Seafoam, Berryman's, and BG additive have all worked really well for me with my project cars over the years.
I bought a Harley that sat for 11 years. Everything you said also applied to my situation. I used Lucas gas treatment on three tanks and now the bike runs great. Have fun riding!
Great stuff ! Marvel too . Great bike as well . I have been restoring bikes for over 30 years. Seafoam is good and is OK on gaskets.
I love and swear by seafoam in a variety of situations and I am surprised an old time mechanical mopar guru as yourself never knew of its wonderful properties. There is alot of bs out there people dont get me wrong but seafoam, liquid B-12 in the big can and pb blaster are necessary tricks of the trade imo, gotta have em
I've heard a good trick for unplugging carb is to get the engine reving then block the carb. The extreme suction can sometimes clear them out.
I'm here to tell you that trick actually does work!! I have been using it for well over 30 years with small engines. It doesnt always work but it often does depending on what is going on with the carb.
part of the ole Italian tune up
@@THExWASP big time! 👍👍
@@THExWASP dats racist.
@@nastybastardatlive how?
I also proved t to myself by using it on a skid loader that wasn't running very good. It had a terrible idle and almost stalled. I poured an entire can of Seafoam in it and let it idle for about 10 minutes and it clear up and ran perfect. It must have cleared some dirt out of the jets or small journals. I now use it in all my engines and also use it as a fuel stabilizer over the winter months in my lawn mowers and motorcycles. It works great!
I'm a true believer in SeaFoam it has a variety of applications beyond being a fuel additive and has always given me good results.
can I flavor a cocktail with it?
@@TheJunky228 probably not the worst thing in the shop anyone's ever got a mouthful of.
Sea foam is good stuff! It won’t solve everything, but it is good to throw a can in the tank once a year or so, especially on something that doesn’t get driven all the time.
It is great in gunked up crank cases too
"VooDoo in a can" Yup, I get it. But Sea Foam is something else. I mix it and Stabil in my yard tool gas. Works like a charm. Example: after sitting from September to March with a half tank of gas, the mower started on the second pull. Two stroke equipment is the same. No idea what's in it. Might be camel spit for all I know. But it works.
It's mostly Naptha, with some oil of wintergreen to make it smell nice.
I believe marvel used to be oil of wintergreen
Been using it for years! I've bought a lot of cars out of back yards, before I even try to start them, two cans of Seafoam and a gallon of fresh gas, pull the coil wire, spin it a few times, almost always works.....
Always enjoy ur vids!
Seafoam actually works sometimes. I put a lot of worth in that product. Some people still don't believe it, bit have had it fix a few issues that I have had so I will continue to buy and use it.
I've been using it with great results for a while now. The most recent thing was I had a sbc that had sat on the floor in the garage for many years and new it was good when I pulled it for future consideration. Installed motor and couldn't get the lifters to pump up for love or money. Added a can of seafoam to the crankcase and I swear it didn't take 2 minutes for them to come back around. I put it in my tanks every oil change.
Bought a 25 year old Gold Wing that had been sitting 4-5 years. Idled and ran rough even with fresh gas. Dumped a whole bottle of Seafoam in and filled up with gas and went for a 30 mile ride. Idled and ran smooth as silk; even the idle surge is gone. Yes, you can set a nickle on edge and it won't fall over.
Always learning something from you Uncle Tony thanks man.
I always winterize my bikes with Seafoam.
I add it to the gas in all my outdoor tools too.
Zero problems.
i will do the same then,thanks for a tip
My grandfather turned me onto seafoam a long time ago. Great stuff. I always keep a can around and treat my fuel occasionally just for upkeep.
I've seen commercial injector cleaning machines use it as well.
Used it on an old Harley years ago and it worked great. Last year a neighbor was having troubles with a little Chinese mini bike for his kids and I let him use my Seafoam. It worked for him as well.
Best stuff I've ever seen. I use it regularly and I have always loved how well it works.
I run a bit of seafoam in all my small engines throughout the year seems to help keep them clean over winter storage. Use non ethanol fuel as much as possible sure helps that too though... excellent videos sir.
I've had major improvement after two tanks with Techron or Amsoil Performance Improver. It's good to know Seafoam works too.
Great honest video pal thanks
It's so cool listening to somone that understands the machine talk about driving it
I first learned of Seafoam to "smoke" an engine, clean the inside. Worked excellent! I put a can in the tank everytime I take a trip to clean and lubricate the fuel system.
You have, in my opinion, one of the best motorcycles ever made! I hope to be able to grab one some day in the not too distant future. Well done!
Agreed! I had the same one and really miss it
Both my dad and my father in law swear by Seafoam. Although they mostly use it as a fuel stabilizer (put it in the snow blower for the summer and the lawnmower for the winter etc.).
I ran STP Intake Valve Cleaner through my engine at about 84,000 miles. I just did it because I figured it would be preventative maintenance.
At 91,000 miles, I'm tearing apart my engine because of a blown head gasket on Cylinder #1. Low and behold, the pistons looked really clean and the intake valves looked brand new. It's refreshing to know that my engine is in such good shape
I have used sea foam for about 30 years. I always use it first, as soon as a carb is acting up. If it doesn't clear it, then I go deeper. 8 out of 10 times, sea foam does the trick.
I put it in if I don’t think I’m gonna ride for a while. Then let it run for ten minutes to work it from the tank to the carbs. It’s my go to winterizer
In my experience Seafoam works great on small engines. I couldn't get my lawnmower started after sitting 3 years, and a shot glass full in the tank had it running after about 5 pulls on the cord. I had a 1978 CB750F Honda that ran like shit after years of sitting with old gas in the tank and float bowls, and a little Seafoam in the tank had it running perfectly after a couple of trips around my block. I figure it's worth gambling a few bucks on a can before I'm forced to take shit apart to fix the problem correctly.
Done the same on my Honda Shadow which had blocked jets after sitting for years, it worked great for me, glad you got your bike sorted fella.
SeaFoam is great stuff. I worked at a parts store and the rep advised us to dribble it into the carb of a warm engine and then pour until it dies. Let it sit for 10-15 and restart and it’ll smoke like banshee but that will clean valves and top of pistons. Add more to the tank to clean the fuel system. Also add some to oil before an oil change to get the crankcase.
I use it all the time, whenever I get a car or truck I do a good tune up and Seafoam is a big part of it.
We pull the vac line on the brake booster and suck a few ounces in. like you said, it'll smoke out the neighborhood.
Welcome to the club Tony, it definitely works !!!
I actually had good results with engine restore, two cans later.
I also noticed Restore doesn't mean much until after the second can.
Store owner likes the second can idea
Thanks for your honest review Tony
GS 550 L oh the memories that brings back. Thank you for the video sir! Carb tuning and balancing will be a lost art...😢
While Derrick (VGG) uses Berryman's, it's similar stuff. He pours it right down the throat while running at a couple thousand rippums.
Derrick and Puddin are great, funny too!
Yup that's how its done
Seafoam also pretty neat for helping keep intake runners/valves clean on direct injection engines. Pull some in w/ a vacuum line on the intake and let it soak a bit then run it out.
The smoke it produces is pretty cool too 😁
My 95 Chrysler GTC was sputtering and had a stumble, ran some Seafoam through it and it was fixed. I'm a multi decade ASE tech and this is NOT news to me. Welcome to the age of motor cars, Tony! 😊 (The carbon bust with Seafoam through the intake works great, too). 😉
Great job Ralph
Derek at Vice Grip was right, he calls Seafoam the Italian tune up LOL.
Italian tune up is running the engine at high RPM to burn off the carbon.
Derek doesn't use seafoam, he uses Berrymans
@@shawnh.2334 was um, just a joke.
I've always sworn by seafoam because it's always worked magic in all my junk. Glad to see you're onboard with it, Uncle Tony! It even works in motor oil if you have a lot of sludge buildup in the motor
Glad this is not click bait. Thanks for sharing.
Two things I've found is
1. Seafoam is petrol based, so for a heavy cleaning I'll throw half a bottle in my sportsters tank.
2. If you are willing to give the rougher stuff a try like Berryman, renzol hyperfuel is definitely worth the money. By far the most immediate, feelable difference I've ever had with any of the fuel additives.
I use vp racings octainium 2 oz per gallon. great performance boost.
I have been using Seafoam forever...I have been wrenching on all types of cars, boats, bikes for 50 years and I never remember not having a gallon can of this stuff on my workshop bench! Great stuff and always helps and it is an excellent fuel stabilizer as well!
Cheers
Mike 🇨🇦
Tony I'm like you, don't normally use those "mechanic in a can" products. Sea foam is one of the few I've found that actually can help.
The mechanic in a can that I use, comes in a 55 gallon drum.
Mine come easily in a 30 pack and has many varieties of flavor
Love the bike. I had an '81 GS750E as my first bike back in '92. Loved that thing. Your 550 looks in great shape, enjoy!
It works. I have seen Seafoam extend the life of more than one industrial engine when used as a crankcase additive (Caterpillar G398, G379). Frees sticking rings and valves. These were engines with 80k-100k hours. Hours, not miles.
Takes a lot of Seafoam to treat a 50-gallon sump...
I've tried it as a cleaner and not bad. Real good for winter storage with treating the gas.
Had horrible results trying to use it as a stabilizer. Live in Saskatchewan. Have 5 sleds.
Had to go through all the carbs because it just turned gas into a white power.
Stabil fuel stabilizer period
@@Welcometofacsistube in my experience ive never seen white powder
@@allanmcelroy9840 it did nothing but oxidize the fuel in the bowls. Used Stabil and never had that problem again
Hey uncle tony. Sea foam is supposed to be an excellent fuel stabilizer for winter storage. I havent used any yett. But when winter comes im going to try seafoam. Ive heard very good reports from my friends. Also echo 2cycle pint in auto transmission really cleans valve body well. Improves sticky shifts. Bands etc.
How’s it workin through winter?
I am never without a can on the shelf. Works very well!!
Yep, I agree - that stuff really does work!
Seafoam works wonders. It unclogged the 1 mm oil galleries in my (noisy) lifters and made my car run smoother overall. I gave it the full treatment: some in the gas tank, some in the oil and the rest in a vacuum line (EFI) until it stalled. Be prepared for massive clouds of white smoke for several minutes.
MASSIVE CLOUDS .....lol ....like call the fire department 'cuz something is on FIRE massive clouds.....lol ask me how I know this one....0_o
@@ssnerd583 Perform this remedy at night.
@@dundeeecroc ...wont matter...lol
the smoke cloud is EPIC!!! lol
We are talking military grade, naval smoke screen epic level of smoke.....
I have been using SeaFoam as a fuel stabilizer for a long time. All the other stabilizers have done me dirty in the past. Seafoam has not. Marvel Mystery oil is one of my favorites as well. It keeps the plungers in the Honda KenHien Carbs from sticking and keeps the top end lubricated.
Seafoam and Marvel Mystery Oil the ultimate combo!
Seafoam fixed an intermittent miss on a Honda VTX 1800 I bought. I'd already done all the typical tune up items but it was EFI so no carbs to rebuild and injectors were not easy to get. After running out of options someone talked me into trying Seafoam. I gave it a heavy dose of half a can in the tank. Never had the miss again in three more years of riding it. I run some Seafoam through all my stuff a couple times a year now as preventative maintenance.
I always liked the fact that it’s petroleum based and not solvent based. My rationale is that, at least if it doesn’t work (it does) it’s just petroleum and not a harsh or corrosive solvent
Cheers
I stand by sea foam, great product. On vehicles that haven’t been cleaned for a while I get it up to operating temperature then suck 1/3 of the can through the brake booster line. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes then turn it on. Enjoy the smoke show if your engine had a lot of carbon haha
Works best that way!
I’m glad one of these additives actually does what it says….
Remember “slick 50” ?!? 🤣
How about that Arco Graphite oil. 😁
I did the same thing on my 1980 GS 850 that was running similar to yours. It worked like a charm.
i bought a 1990 gsxr750 that had been sitting for years. after checking the oil and charging the battery i hit the start button. i got it to run and it idled fine. much more than that and it would sputter and pop. i drained the tank. put in fresh fuel along with SEAFOAM. i let it run for a while and slowly rode it around the neighborhood occasionally goosing the throttle and it would sputter, pop, buck and bang. after a few days of doing this i was riding in the neighborhood and goosed the throttle and it sputtered, popped and then took off like a bat out of hell. after that i rode around normally and gave her the beans and she never skipped a beat afterwards. i love seafoam. to this day i add some seafoam to the tank of my zx14r every 3 months just to make sure the injectors are clean. i ride all year long as long as the temp is over 40F.
That's exactly what it's for! Personally I use it all the time when I don't want to remove my throttlebody or intake manifold to clean 'em properly on modern fuel injected systems (it's a hassle). I think of it as a basic quality cleaning, it's better than nothing! I've compared it after taking off my throttle and I can see it works for cleaning, not magic fixes like people advertise and expect.
Also I've never noticed a difference for it cleaning the inside of the cylinder. I prefer to use it through the air intake as direct injection doesn't care if you put it in the gas. I use it mainly on modern Cars with direct injection after an oil change or if I notice stumbling and I'm feeling lazy. If you suspect it's just carbon or varnish buildup due to modern gas, it's always worth trying this $8 fix before taking stuff apart.
I'm still skeptical. For definitive proof I'd have to see disassembled before and after results of the carb. Otherwise I discount this as random chance.
So let's all give this random commenter definitive proof! Because we all care so much about proving something to this guy! OR..let the cheap bastard buy his own can and try it himself.
Me used 2 b skeptcl, 2. Fuel Trim values too negative and got startup, cold misfires. SMOG check failed. That night, did SMOKE clean u c on YT, twice, including heat soak. Drove highway during week about 50 miles. Trims less than 5%, and passed SMOG!
Now, I buy SF by gallon.
There ARE TH-cam videos showing the actual results, beyond that get off the dime and try it!
Gotta love Uncle Tony!
When I was in outdoor power eguipment business,30 yrs ago I was just out of high school,I was told to use Sta Bil….total disaster. An old dealer told me to use sea foam. Best fuel treatment I’ve ever seen.
I've owned multiple Suzuki GS's and belong to the GS resources fourm where many of the members swear by Seafoam. I believe in cleaning the carbs but I do use seafoam over the winter when I'm not riding. Cears for the video!
I'm amazed that you have never tried nor believed it worked until now.
The stuff is a major staple to mechanics old and new for practical cleaning of carbs, valve/seats, injectors, etc while avoiding unnecessary teardown, when possible.
It won't work miracles when internals are beyond self-cleaning, but when there's at least some flow and it works, SF can usually get it cleaner and improve the situation.
I use it myself from time to time.
Welcome to the club, Uncle Tony!
My 04 Silverado idles so smooth you forget it's running. I've used Seafoam for 25 years even in my D6 Catapilliar. I highly recommend it.
i was so excited for pictures of the valves and stuff.. Such is life.
Welcome to the club . Any boat owner will swear by that stuff 😂. Chain saws , lawn mowers , if something is running rough ?? Run a few tanks with it in there . 😎
Yes. Seafoam works killer. Really good for putting the toys up for the winter too. Good shit
Hahahaha...thats great! I've heard about that stuff for years too but like you I'm like nothing in a can is going to make it right! But if a mild cleaning up is all that is needed this stuff seems pretty reliable. Thanks for sharing!
Good luck on your Suzuki, they are great little motorcycles.
I've been using Seafoam in my Japanese 4-carb bikes for 20 years, and have never needed to clean my carbs. I put a glug in on every other tank and I'm good to go, even with the bikes sitting over the New England winter. I picked up B-12 the other day, I'll give that a try for chuckles this weekend.
Hey buddy good video. Really like your Mopars in the background. I used to have a 66 Dodge Charger myself. Subscribed.
Been using it for years. Can be a lifesaver with old outboard motors.
I've had great luck with the stuff in small engines. I usually run a bit through the first startup of the season and it's kept my stuff running and carbs clean for years.
I had a 78 AMC Concord. It was parked for over a year (including a Minnesota winter), I poured some Seafoam in the gas tank and a little in the carb. It started right up, smoked for a few minutes then ran fine. I drove it for over a year afterwards.
true believer here, regular seasonal use on my vehicles that dont see regular use, i used it once in the oil on a jeep 4.0l to free up a stuck lifter plunger that wasnt pumping oil to the rocker.
