    I have been using Seafoam in my 2008 Dodge Nitro 3.7L with 334,678 miles on it. I've been using Seafoam in the fuel tank every 3rd tank, added to the oil 200 miles before I change my oil and I've used the Seafoam fogger 2 times and the engine runs like it has 30,000 miles on it. I swear by Seafoam products!

    Seafoam is AMAZING! I bought a vintage HONDA MB5 (2-stroke, 5-speed manual clutch, 50cc, 7HP, exported to USA in 1982 only) street bike, and although it started and ran, it 'bogged down' a lot, with bad throttle response, and only did 35 MPH. I knew that top speed of this fun little bike is 55 MPH. I added Seafoam to the gas, and about 3 tankfulls later, the bike completely 'opened up' and ran like a clock, easily hitting it's top speed of 55 MPH, with flawless throttle response! I honestly could not believe what I was experiencing, but Seafoam 'restored' this old bike to it's original performance!

    Just wanted to say this stuff works!!! I bought a 1995 evinrude 9.9 2 stroke that wouldnt stay running at low idle. I did a few sea foam treatments like displayed in this video, and after a while of playing with the throttle to keep it running it cleared out the carb and now idles perfectly at low rpms.
    Thanks!
    Also, there was a LOT of greyish gunk coming out of the exhaust water flow.

      The smaller the fuel tank, the easier it is to add high cleaning concentrations of Sea Foam! Also want to make sure that you understand that cleaning carburetor passageways requires Sea Foam in the fuel. Adding Sea Foam to a plug hole adds lubricity and soak cleaning to cylinder cavities - what it takes to help your engine's fuel delivery (carburetors or injectors) must be mixed into the fuel.

      A high concentration is one thing, a high volume of a high concentration is another. You're going to have trouble with too much lubricity and lack of fuel vapor volatility. [Be prepared for your car to run terrible and likely foul plugs when you cold start.] I would siphon a bunch of that mix out of your tank into a fuel can, then fill the Acura's tank with fresh gas. Re-use a portion of what's in the fuel can as you cycle through tanks of fuel.

      Hey Jeffrey: People call our tech line often about having large boat tanks full of old gas... Just be very confident that the old fuel has lost its "bang". It loses light ignition vapor and becomes heavy, less volatile, causes residue throughout the fuel system. My encouragement is find someone that can handle all that old fuel and have a repurposeful use for it.

    • @SeaFoamOfficial
      @SeaFoamOfficial  6 років тому

      Hi Rachel - For cleaning carburetors, here's what I would do: When the fuel tank is very low (less than a gallon), add a full can of Sea Foam to the fuel tank. Start and let the engine idle for 10 minutes to draw the Sea foam concentration into the carburetor circuits, then shut it off and let everything sit and soak for a night (or 2, or 3...longer is better). After sitting, add a half tank of fresh gas, start and let it run for 10 minutes to burn off all the hydrocarbon residue...then road ride it once the idle is steady.... At that point your carburetor circuits should be clear and you will have ZERO doubt about Sea Foam's ability to clean things up! Let us know what happens.

    My motorcycle was backfiring from one or two cylinders and gas mileage was down about 10mpg (typical about 45, now about 35). I put a whole can in with about half gallon of gas in my motorcycle and ran for 5 minutes, then shut off and let sit overnight. Next day I ran it for 20 minutes sitting in garage on idle with lots of revs occasionally. Hot day and engine got very hot (engine is air cooled, no radiator just a small oil cooler). Lots of smoke from exhaust so I figured just let it keep running until smoke is gone. After about 20 minutes suddenly engine started making a loud tapping or clicking noise. Shut off engine and let cool overnight, started next day and noise remained. What did it do to my engine? It's a 1991 Honda Nighthawk 750 with self adjusting hydraulic lifters. Noise seems to be coming from top of engine above one of the four cylinders. Stuck valve? Broken lifter? Please tell me I didn't ruin my engine. What do I do now? I do regular maintenance and oil changes and don't ride hard.

    • @SeaFoamOfficial
      @SeaFoamOfficial  6 років тому

      Did you check the plugs for fouling?

    • @mattfoley6082
      @mattfoley6082 6 років тому

      No I didn't check the plugs. The noise came on very suddenly. It's definitely coming from the #2 cylinder exhaust valves' tappet/rocker arm area.
      I took the valve cover off and removed all 4 spark plugs and pressed and held the starter to turn the engine without ignition but the noise doesn't happen. Installed plugs and started engine and ran for a few seconds (valve cover still removed) and heard the noise. So the noise happens when engine is running from ignition but doesn't happen when engine is turning from the starter without ignition.

    • @SeaFoamOfficial
      @SeaFoamOfficial  6 років тому

      The backfiring + noise from the exhaust valve = sounds like a valve clearance adjustment is needed.

    • @mattfoley6082
      @mattfoley6082 6 років тому

      Hydraulic tappets so no valve adjustment is possible. Only thing I can think it could be is one or both exhaust hydraulic tappets failed (2 per cylinder). It seems highly unlikely that 2 tappets would fail at the exact same time, so I'm guessing it's just one of them. The question I was hoping you could answer is what caused it. Like I said the noise came on suddenly.
      Update: Upon closer examination I see that one of the exhaust valves on the #1 cylinder is stuck open. (The rocker is not on the cam lobe but I can see about an 1/8" gap between the rocker and the cam, and the valve stem is lower than the others.) I'm confused because the noise was coming from the #2 valve area. So now I think the #2 tappets are ok but the #1 valve is stuck open. Any tips on unsticking the valve without going through hassle of disassembling engine to get at valve? I would think the Seafoam would've cleaned everything and made things less sticky, not more sticky.
      Update: The valve does move up and down from the cam lobe but does not close completely when off the cam lobe.

    • @SeaFoamOfficial
      @SeaFoamOfficial  6 років тому

      Adding Sea Foam to fuel goes through the fuel intake/combustion side so has no relationship to stickiness that can occur around cam parts. To clean the oil side areas of any 4-stroke engine you would add Sea Foam to the oil crankcase (1.5 oz per quart). Sea Foam in oil works to reliquefy any sticky oil residue that may be causing parts to stick. Obviously, it won't overcome worn or damaged mechanisms.
      What I'd be looking for is corrosion or burnt oil crud on valve guide/s. Other is that your valve gap is caused by a bent or worn part anywhere from rocker (bent) to pushrod (bent) to lobe/cam (worn). I don't see any way Sea Foam can help. Wish it were an easier fix.

I let it sit overnight and tried again in the morningand the motor would not turn over. Would Seafoam fix this problem and allow for the motor to start?

    • @SeaFoamOfficial
      @SeaFoamOfficial  6 років тому

      It will definitely help if your fuel passageways are gummed up/varnish. Remove the fuel, then add a half can of Sea Foam and a pint of fresh gas to the empty tank. Crank it several times to draw the Sea Foam mix into the upper engine. Let it sit for a day or two to soak. If it starts. you resolved a varnish problem. Just add more fresh fuel and go. Let us know what happens!

      Can't know without more information but common cause of rough running is petroleum forms that impair fuel passageways.

Sea Foam (petroleum) works to clean by safely dissolving petroleum residues, helps clear things out.
