re: Sea-Foam

I had a weedeater run like shite after I used it once. Another time, I ran it in a weedeater and a blower and they both shut down and needed to be torn apart, fuel drained, and rebuilt. I think it might mess with the fuel/oil ratio, and it definitely fouled out the plugs multiple times.

Hadn't ever had a problem with that weedeater in it's 10yr life and that included going underwater for 2 days during Katrina. Just ran Seafoam to see if it would make a difference, and regretted it after

I understand what it actually does to fuel, but for some reason, it killed all three of those motors

The fuel I was using was new and the correct ratio. The motors ran for a minute and then all three cut out. Maybe there was an arse load of carbon buildup on the top of the pistons that came loose. They all ran fine after I cleaned all of the Seafoam fuel mixture out of them. I didn't take off the heads and clean them or the pistons either.

It was just run, Seafoam mixed in fuel, run for a minute, not run.

Never heard of that. That's pretty sucky

Cleans carbon deposits and stabilizes fuel . Heaven in a bottle

Good Lord yes.

Tremendous amounts of smoke

They wouldn't run wide open, and gradually died. There wasn't any gunk in the carb when I cleaned it afterwards either. My guess is it had to have taken the carbon buildup off of the pistons and done something with it so it wouldn't run. I didn't clean out the combustion chambers or run them without the plugs. Maybe it separated the oil from the fuel, but I dunno. I a not a Seafoam engineer. They absolutely wouldn't run until I swapped the fuel


I have gonna stick to cleaning the old fashioned way from now on, a toothbrush and hammer

In the gas or sucked up through a vacuum line, depending on what you want to do

It helps . Sea foam guarantees to stabilize fuel for 2 years I think . Stabil won't guarantee it

I can't either . It's been too good to me to leave it now

It's lent
