I did the decarb with SeaFoam today and noticed a secondary benefit. Mosquito fogging. <br />

<br /><br />Took her out and ran WOT for a little while. I definitely have a smoother idle now.<br />I am going to see if the neighbors will chip-in for a couple of cans per week, I'll just run some through every time I flush the saltwater.<br />

The last time I did my Ford explorer and then took off down the roard, I was sure glad there was not anyone behind me because they would have had to stop until the air cleared, yep! it really does work.

You laugh. When we were kids living in So. TX. the surplus military Jeeps (city owned then) would come through the neighborhood spraying DDT. We used to ride our bikes through it. It was a dense cloud that covered everything....worked too.<br /><br />Mark

I pour some in the oil of my Dodge pickup occasionally. Seems to make it run more quietly.<br />Not as visually impressive as the decarbing however.

I was using my weed eater this AM and since it was running rough, poured about 1/2 oz into the spark plug hole to cleans it up. Actually ran a little better. Can not believe they call for a 16/1 mixture in this thing. Oils just drips out of the muffler.

I just bought a 90 hp inline six and am working up the nerve to do it out of the water. Im afraid there might be a lynching if I do.

Re: 2 Birds with one SeaFoam

if you think seafoam is good, you oughta try yamaha ring free, will even clean up old spark plugs to look like new, lots higher in price though, doin shock treatment gets expensive, at 13.00 per 16 oz. later ron
