Has anyone ever used Ring Free on a used two-stroke before??? Does it foul the spark plugs as it “cleans” the rings???

Is it similar to seafoam?
Yep, it helps dissolve the carbon buildup on the pistons, heads and cylinders that can collect over time. Most outboard engine mfgrs have a similar product with their own name on it. Very popular on older two stroke engines as the oil mix would make that carbon buildup even worse.

Ok, im a fan of seafom as a starting point, ive gotten maybe a 75% success rate with it. If it burns offsh.y from the rings and cylinders it will also but off from plugs. Or... just spend a couple dollars on new plugs. If thing are that bad in the cylinder the plugs prob need new and gapped correctly
