Title: Does Seafoam and Like Actually Work
Post by: Togger on June 09, 2021, 08:59:10 PM

If I wanted to clean the varnish out of my scooter, what is a good way to do so? I'm becoming doubtful that additives do much based on YouTube research.

From the carburetor

If your carburetor is already plugged up you will have to clean it first to be effective.  Seafoam will help keep your carburetor clean and also act as a fuel stabilizer.  Yes it's effective at removing varnish  but like I said if the passage is plugged it can't flow through to do it's job. The passages in the carburetor are extremely small and easy to plug with contaminated fuel.  Very important to use clean fuel.

I purchase premium gas with no ethanol and add 1 ounce of Seafoam per gallon as a stabilizer  and fill my scooters from that gas container. 

Chevron  Techron is a excellent cleaner as well.  Another thing they do is help remove carbon deposits on the top end of the engine.
