Since I have a 1985 XP 150 that has only been decarbed once, I am very interested in this test also.

Re: Seafoam test!

I am still around, just busy with duck season. I never did the test because the motor I was to do it on was sold. <br />I dont have any motor that is carboned up so I am without a test canidate.<br /> I do have a Toro snowthrower that is five years old and has had the pee ran out of it that I could do the test on, but I know the naysayers would cry bloody murder becasue its not a outboard. It does spec a TCW-3 oil.

Re: Seafoam test!

I see Sea Foam as a "preventive" additive, not necessarily a decarb. product.<br /><br />Although, I've been succesful at decarbing an engine with it.<br /><br />Engines that are run hard and long do not necessarily carbon up.<br /><br />The real test is an engine that has "loafed" its entire life and been put away with no, or little, maintenance. Especially one using the wrong oil.

I have a new Yam 60 that I have broke in according to the book by running pre mix for the first ten hours. At tem hours I pulled the plugs and the looked great. I was using Yam 2m oil and the oil pump is maxed out so it pumps at 50:1 instead of 100:1.<br /> With most any decent quality tcw3 oil decards are not needed IMO.

The key word in your statement is "QUALITY", and the yammy oil is a great oil.

Re: Seafoam test!

I think that most TCW3 oils are quality oils.To meet the latest TCW3 revision (went into effect in Jan 04 I believe) required many oils to be reformulated in effect elliminating the lower quality oils. This is per a conversation I had with one of the engineers in charge of BRP's lubricants program.
