Lightbulb SeaFoam for winter storage, ruff running, and so much more

SeaFoam

A garage must have if you ask me. This stuff is just amazing. I would call "snake oil" if I haven't used it myself and know many others who have done the same.

I know this winter I will be storing my bike with this in it instead of stabil.

Last spring, my sons dirt bike was very hard to start and it was idling super rough or wouldn't idle at all. A splash of seafoam in the tank and 5 minutes later the bike ran like a champ again.

I use stabil as preventative maintenance, and seafoam as a reactive maintenance if needed.

Stabil has always worked if used properly, but seafoam is definatly good shit!

I run some seafoam in my gas every once in a while... the ethanol (10%) in our gas around here encourages valve buildup and I want those fuckers shiny and clean.

Seafoam can be used as a fuel stabilizer... just FYI.... used it in my truck...

I've used it every time I've brought my bike out of storage (which seems like way too much damn it!) run a can through with the fuel... usually half at a time... never had an issue with my fuel or carbs that it hasn't fixed.

yes, winterizing, what is that?


seafoam ROCKS for cleaning light deposits and prepping a motor for winter/long periods of storage.
