I was back at the lawn equipment parts store this morning, and the
counter guy also suggested a product called "Sea Foam," as something
that preserves gasoline and also does some clean out. Looked it up on
line. I'm going to buy a can at the local auto parts store.

Mower starts fine after I hooked the choke cable up to the right carb
control rod hole. Yes, I put it in the wrong hole. A girl told me that
once about 50 years ago, and then she slapped me...real hard. Nothing
bad happened this time, except the choke wasn't working. No slaps.

If you have a Northern Tool by you they carry Sea Foam.

Local auto parts store had it. I'm not aware of a Northern Tool anywhere
near here. I think I recall seeing one in Norfolk, but that's hours away.

They have seafoam just about anywhere that handles oil, auto parts or
boat stuff around here.
It is supposed to be some kind of miracle potion.
I have never had it fix anything.



Perhaps your problems aren't easily fixable?

(Hard to resist a straight line like that!)

It's purpose isn't to fix mechanical failures, so that's probably why
you haven't had it fix any.

This was hyped as some magic elixir that "Safely helps quiet noisy
lifters, helps remove fuel deposits and oil residue, helps smooth
rough idle". They say it cleans injectors, removes varnish and gum

I have not noticed it doing anything.

It is basically just light machine oil, naphtha and isopropanol that
they sell for $65 a gallon or more

How would you notice if it was removing varnish and gum? Yes, it is made
up of chemical compounds but that doesn't mean that it's not a good
product. Water is as well and it's pretty important stuff. Sea Foam Bugs
B Gone is fantastic for getting bugs and tar off of your paint, and I
like Deep Creep a lot better than WD-40.

I just said it didn't fix anything.
My rough running motors are still the same after running seafoam for a
while., If it is removing gum and deposits, they are deposits that
were not hurting anything.

This crap is sold the same way they sell fishing lures, golf clubs and
marital aids. If you think they work, they work.

I use it to clean carb parts and works fantastically for it, so I DO
know that it removes varnish and gum.
