I have 32 carburetors to deal with on my vehicles, tractors, generators, outboard and lawn & garden equipment. I do all my own engine work and have used exactly one can of Seafoam in my life. That can didn't seem to do a darn thing. If there is junk in a carb, the gasoline will wash it out eventually or physical removal is required, IMHO.
UNLESS you have access to NON-ethanol gasoline - the above is bunk, or you're only 15 years old, ROTFL
A better term would be: "The gasoline MIGHT wash it out eventually.."
*If* the ethanol gasoline sits in a tank (w/out an additive) for an extended period....you WILL have a tank full of what smells like shellac - and you WILL have 32 carbs to disassemble and clean.
Been there, done that - fortunately not even close to 32.
Proverb: An ounce (or more) of prevention (additive) is worth an hour
(or more) of carb cleaning!..:S
