Yeah DO NOT use it in the oil. I know alot of people do in car engines, but not a good idea in your bike. I use it in the gas tank for winter storage as it stabilizes the fuel and cleans the injectors in the spring, but the only thing that goes in my oil tank is oil.

 

Curious has anyone ever used this through a vacuum or through the carb directly? Or just mainly for the gas tank only?

 

I wouldn't put it in the oil but i've ran it through the fuel system and put it in during cold winter months as a fuel stabilizer and i'm happy with the results i got out of it

 

They also make some stuff called Deep Creep it's a spray that you can spray into your carb or EFI.

 

yea I saw that and was wondering if anyone has tried or done that method as well? Seems like majoirty just put it into the gas tank.

 

Well I don't have a carb but I have used it in my EFI...came recommended from a friend that has a carbed bike...a Mikuni 45 I think.

 

I fill my tank up (at least over half full) and add whatever amount the bottle says. I only put it in the fuel, and let the bike run for a few minutes. I haven't had any problems.

 

If your intent is to clean the carb, spraying into the carb throat isn't going to do much, as it will just get sucked through the throat and into the cylinder. That's great if your trying to remove carbon from the valves and head, but if it's the carb that needs cleaning, you need to pour it in the fuel tank.

 

I was just wondering. I believe my carbs are fine. They seem pretty clean. I was just more curious than wanting. lol.

 

Put seafoam into the near empty tank and then fill it up so you sort of know the ratio of gas to seafoam(it doesn't need to be an exact ratio) and also so that it gets well mixed up. The instructions say the entire full can is good for treating 8-24 gallons of gas. So in my 3.3 carbed sporty tank I put 1/3 of a can per full tank of gas and then run 3 tanks through.

My bike sat idle for over a year, and even though the tank/carb was cleaned very well it still was rough starting when cold. I'm on my 3rd tank of seafoam and the starting is getting easier and it runs noticeably smoother at idle.

You can suck an ounce or 2 of pure seafoam into a vacuum line, stall or shut it down and let it sit to soak the engine for valve carbon. And boy will you get a smoke screen from the exhaust when you fire it up, plus you probably kill any O2 sensors as well. O2 Sensors being blasted by that smoke is the main reason why I only have used it mixed in with Gas, plus most people don't want to mess with taking off vacuum lines, if they even know where they are.
