Sea foam test

Water might work for carbon deposits, despite the risks of hydro-locking the engine and destroying it, but I suspect the water would do little for gummed up carb or injectors.

On the other hand, I've dropped whole carbs that were gummed solid in a coffee can of SeaFoam, left it for a week, hit it with some compressed air, bolted it on and started the engine.

The kid did a great job. It's old school vs new school.

Water was an old trick that would blow engines because the steam made way too much pressure for the engine to handle if done wrong. It was a trick of last resort. The kid knew enough, and even mentioned it a few times to warn people with his Seafoam.

With fuel injection you will not get the carbon build up like in the old days. What he viewed as a carbon problem old school would view as fairly clean. Letting the Seafoam sit on the piston head was sure proof the stuff works using his camera technique.

Kudo's to the kid, all he needs is some mentoring, but he's doing a fine fine job. Been using Seafoam for over 40 years, it does what it says.

I put a can of seafoam in my Subaru after every oil change. It does work. You can buy it on sale for $6.74 a can, well worth the money.

This guy is an idiot pusher for seafoam ! In the 1st place I saw very little difference tween the 1st and 2nd. And some....if not all of us know that just plain water does the same thing, and probably better. Water is what dealerships always used when an engine had a piston noise suspected of being a carbon knock. And I have stood right there and see the noise go away. They held the throttle wide open, and control the RPMs w/ the water quantity.
For $9 I'd have expected something,....but then, most of us are not surprised I'd bet.

nice ,but if he,d have injected that thru the carb and let it sit a hour it would have ate all the gunk up ,I use sea foam in all my boat engines.and B 12 are good products.
