Default Sea Foam?

I haven't used the stuff yet, but hear plenty of people rave about it. Who else loves the stuff?

I've used it on my motorcycle and have had great results. Helped remove some varnish from the carbs so I could avoid a full rebuild.

i used it on my old jeep with the 4.0 straight 6. had over 100,000 miles on it. the seafoam definitely smoothed out the idle and i felt a better throttle response. Not sure how it would work on a new motor

One of the guys on here (can't remember the name) used it after he flooded (water) his engine in his JK. Used it in the throttle body and said it worked great.

I can say that it will revive small engines that have been neglected or left sitting a long time with old gas.
I used it on my Justy (last carb engine car in US) when I bought it and it smoothed the idle out.

I currently use it in my motorcycle and also used it in my old Isuzu Rodeo (both over 100k miles).

With the motorcycle I use it in the fuel system to help cut down on the carbon buildup in the combustion chamber. I run about 1/2 a bottle through about every 10k miles, or if it ever starts pinging during hot weather

With the Rodeo, I dumped in into the oil and let it run for about 15 min. Then proceeded with an oil/filter change. It really helped quiet down the lifter tap in the motor. The Rodeo's were notorious for collecting engine sludge, and the Seafoam was the only thing I ever found that did a good job of cleaning it out.

I asked at Schucks the other day. They said they had it for around $8-9. if I remember correctly. But most auto parts stores should have it.
