Seafoam Deep Creep?

[chevinrude]

Im thinking about using this in my 2-stroke 1988 Evinrude 140.... I hear good things, I hear ok things, I hear bad things. What do you guys recommend? I trust y'all more than anyone else. Give me your input.

Thanks!

Re: Seafoam Deep Creep?

If you are going to de-carbon the engine with an aerosol, you should upgrade the primer solenoid so that you can inject it with a schrader valve: http://www.iboats.com/Johnson-Servi...0661775--**********.008437959--view_id.507811

Otherwise use the regular SeaFoam mixed with premix as described by Captain Dunkelberger: http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=158076

what would be the challenge with spraying directly into the carb?

Re: Seafoam Deep Creep?

You would need to remove the air silencer cover which would break the cover seals, then spray equal amounts into each of the carburetors.

It's not bad for a one-time thing, but you should de-carb annually and fog the engine for storage. So the primer solenoid upgrade is easier in the long run - takes about five minutes.

What are you expecting it to do?

If you have carbon build up it may help, will you notice a difference in how it runs....possibly, but only if the build up was bad enough to affect performance. Using Deep Creep and spraying it in the carb will only help with carbon build up. Using Sea Foam (same product) in the fuel will do the same thing, plus possibly help keep the carbs clean.

It won't do any harm, so go for it if you want to.

I don't think I've every heard "bad things" about either style, what did you hear that was bad?

Re: Seafoam Deep Creep?

I think where sea foam gets a bad name is from the practice of removing the brake vacuum hose on your car and sucking up huge sudden amounts of this product into the engine. Liquids don't compress!!
I just did my lawn equiptment with the stuff. I put some in the gas tank, I'd guess 2 ounces in a quart. I warmed up the motors, removed the spark plug , put sea foam in the combustion chamber and let it soak. When I fired stuff back up I used a spray bottle and ran some through the carbs. One really old Briggs 2 hp motor really runs better now.

Re: Seafoam Deep Creep?

I would use the regular Seafoam liquid. The Deep Creep is more a penetrant liken to WD-40. For a de-carb, use the liquid and save the DC for your rusted bolts and such.
Taken from their website....
"Deep Creep?s fast acting, 100% petroleum formula quickly penetrates rusted parts, lubricates moving metal parts, disperses moisture, and cuts through grease, engine varnish and road tar. It withstands heat better than other penetrating oils ? allowing you to use it in combination with a torch to loosen a badly rusted part. Deep Creep has hundreds of household and workshop uses and outperforms all the leading penetrating sprays on the market. Deep Creep?s unique spray can even works with the can held upside down so you can use it in difficult-to-reach applications."

Just my 2cents

I'm trying to eliminate buildup. The previous owner wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. He took poor care of it. I've owned it for 3 years and haven't done a de-carb so it's due
