    Middle of December I’m in the Midwest staying in a camper for work. Boy was it gonna be a cold night! In my opinion one of the best videos on UA-cam. Thank you gentlemen you may never know how much it is appreciated. Thank you!!

    I bought a brand new PowerStroke 3500W generator several years ago. Left it in the box, in a dry shed, untouched. When bad weather was anticipated a couple years ago, I hauled it out and discovered mice had made their home there. Rust on wires where they had urinated, etc. I was not happy. Cleaned it off, put oil and gas in it for the first time, and discovered the motor was totally seized up! Wouldn't budge! Your video was short and fast (whereas most others drag on and on), and I wish it was longer! So what Seafoam product would you recommend I use? I already bought a wrench to try and "hercules" the engine loose after soaking it properly. Thanks!

      Deep Creep was used to lubricate the stubborn parts.

      @@SeaFoamOfficial It worked. I used Seafoam, let it set for a few weeks, removed the pull-start cover, used a socket wrench and rubber hammer to gradually get the piston to do a few full rotations, then used a drill to turn it for a couple minutes. The result was a child could now pull that starter cord with ease! Next stop: pressure wash it, add some gas, and see if it'll fire up!

    Can Sea Foam be used with small two stroke motors that are using pump gas with 10% ethanol? will help the problem of running 2 stoke small engine with 10% ethanol

    • @SeaFoamOfficial
      @SeaFoamOfficial  3 роки тому

      Yes, works in ANY fuel. Sea Foam is petroleum oil so will help with lubricating the carburetor circuits. Ethanol typically causes trouble for engines older than 2003, mostly because the fuel lines aren't resistant to ethyl alcohol. Hope this helps!

    I found one and the guy said the engine is locked up. Is this normally the issue and how I can fix it?

    • @SeaFoamOfficial
      @SeaFoamOfficial  3 місяці тому

      Locked up often means that a piston ceased in a cylinder/ruined. Can also mean that the engine sat a long time so hard to crank.

    My generator suddenly became stiff after shutting itself off while on. And I couldn't pull to turn it on anymore. Would it work for that situation too?

    • @SeaFoamOfficial
      @SeaFoamOfficial  5 місяців тому +1

      Did you have a piston overheat? Able to crank the engine?

      Could you really not follow along? They put Sea-Foam in the cylinder, not that complicated.

    The valve at the gas tank gets gunked up more than anything and they are a bitch to get to on the quiet gen

    Too bad you cut the video. I’m sure you had to pull carb off and clean. Doesn’t matter tho I still use sea foam lol

    • @thatguy.42

      Nope. This is the second Generator they've fixed with just Seafoam.

    • @python71483
      @python71483 3 роки тому

      Your video shows otherwise. Your video was edited before the generator started Sea foam works. But doesn’t work that good

      @@python71483 Whose video? Not mine man. I just know the two guys in the video and they don't lie. Deep creep frees up the piston, which then allows the motor to rotate freely. I do the same thing with Marvel Mystery oil, but deep creep is easier to spray in and coat the cylinder.

    • @SeaFoamOfficial
      @SeaFoamOfficial  3 роки тому +1

      Cajun: Respectfully, if most fouled carburetor issues are caused by fuel varnish, why would anyone go to the trouble of removing a carburetor? Sticky/heavy varnish gums up carburetor circuits, Sea Foam reliquefies the varnish back into the liquid fuel phase to clear things up and burn in the chamber. Hope this helps!

    • @python71483

      This video has a bunch of cuts in it. It you started a video from start to finish without any editing. I’m would be a different story.
