sea foam decarb

[patrick4266]

I bought a 16 oz can of sea foam from my local auto zone. I have 3 gallons of gas that I added fuel stabilizer to last week. Ran maybe less than five minutes in my engine.1972-85hp rude.

Can I decarb on the muffs? Since I already have stablizier in it will it make a difference? Should I use the whole can? Do I need to buy more gas?

I doubt the minor bit of Stabilizer will affect it.

Tashasdaddys method:

Try a decarb and see if that evens things out a little. Invest in a can of seafoam, in a portable tank, mix 3/4 gallons of premix gas, an 3/4 can of seafoam, (assuming you don't have the vro connected). Put the remaining seafoam in a spray bottle, run the motor up to temperture, remove the plugs, one at a time, spray some seafoam into each cylinder and replace plug. Let it sit 15 minutes, remove the air silencer from the carb while waiting, restart motor, and spray seafoam into each carb, until it start to stall. Repeat until the seafoam is gone. Run out the remaining gas. It will smoke like it is on fire, and drip goo on the ground. Replace the plugs with new ones, and then do the compression check again. This procedure burns the carbon out of the motor and been known to free up rings and increase compression.

Re: sea foam decarb

stabilizer won't hurt it, siphon off most of the gas, because you need the concentration of seafoam & premix, then when done just add the gas back to the mix. don't run over 1500 rpms, on muffs.
