-
Zombie has recommended it here hundreds of times. Yes, it's good!
-
I use on every thing that runs gas good stuff!
-
...never used it...49,000 km....
..i'm just sayin'....
-
Got to deal with a bit more moisture and rust in my neck of the woods works wonders here not a bad stabilizer either.Never heard of it or used it liveing in california ;D
-
...yeah, and z's down on the gulf coast...
..lot's of moisture, and sea salt...
-
That's what led me to it. Boats!
-
Seafoam is good. I am beginning to think StarTron is better, after a couple of months' use.

I'll have to give it a test run. What's the cost per bottle? Sea Foam runs just under 8 bucks per 12oz.

Another Sea Foam fan, here. I use it in all engines, eventually. If nothing else, I feel better dumping it in a poorly running vehicle, and maybe it does run better. Can't hurt, right?
BTW- Sea Foam used to be about $4 a couple years ago- what happened? Its like $9 at Advance now!
Is it just because petroleum has such a high intrinsic value now? Just check out asphalt roofing shingles- they were about $8 a bundle when I built a garage 7 years ago. Now, fast forward to today- $25 - $30 a bundle!! Like someone pointed out to me- petroleum is very expensive now.
OK, rant over. Back to scooters..... 8)

He He, I'm just gettin' warmed up.......
Actually, I've been busy with my S9,- new variator, clutch and torque spring. Have not fully tested it yet, but I will be posting my results ( and eagerly awaiting your sage advice!!!).
Onward through the fog....

It's foggy in my house too! Where's my twinkies...
-
thanks for all the infoe on seafoam Ill give it a try.
-
ever sens I put seam foam in I had to clean everything like plugs filter gas filter and oil is this a normale thing.
-
I think that any fuel additive in a well maintained and regularly services scoot that is driven at least every week or two is absolutely not necessary.
I would use it ONLY, and ONLY if I had to store the bike over the winter (or for some other reason) in order to stabilize the fuel and prevent "gumming up".
Never used it, nobody here uses it and nobody needs it. I think that in the long run it can only cause problems.
I am well aware that this goes against Seafoam clan :) on the forum.

I need more info on why you are cleaning all of those things.
Is the scooter not running properly?
Keep in mind that if Seafoam or some other solvent is working junk off your carb, bits of varnish may be going elsewhere.
I proper carb cleaning sounds like it is in order.

I was wondering the same. However, this is "US" thing. No people in Europe are using such cleaners.
They are simply not necessary, especially not as a prevention. If something gets clogged up, carb has to be disassembled and cleaned and that's it. However, that happens almost never, at least never happened to me.

I put Seafoam in all my gas things as a stabilizer cleaner, even chain saws, generator, all bikes that are sitting a while, etc.
When my '07 Silverado went into the shop for an 02 sensor, the Chevy dealership tech put a can of Seafoam into it just to make sure the injectors were clean. He said they recommend it and use it in the shop a lot. The nice thing was that I wasn't charged for it. Its about $8 around here at Walmart.
