Default Decarbing engine with SeaFoam

Ferm, This quote is from an old thread I found regarding decarbing with SeaFoam. My question is after this procedure, do you continue to use the remaining fuel as mixed or add to another batch to dilute the SeaFoam some?

P.S. Did you ever do the video?

Mix 1 bottle of the SEAFOAM with the 5 gallons of gas and oil(if needed), and put this in a small gas tank on deck. Unhook your fuel line from the main tank and hook it up to the portable tank with the magic elixir inside. Run engine for 5 minutes on the mix at or below 1500 RPM's(some like to do this with no load on the engine, others with a load on it), let it sit for 15 minutes with the engine off. Repeat this process until you notice a drastic decrease in the amount of smoke that comes out when you re-start it(usually 2 times, but as many as 5 if severely carboned up). There are many methods for doing a de-carb, but this method is regarded as the easiest to do with the least amount of chance of engine damage being done(yes, carbon can damage an engine if it is removed too quickly). Maybe one day I'll do a video of me doing a de-carb the old fashion way ;D(smoke, lot's of smoke).

Never made a video of me doing the water and ATF decarb. You can dump the remaining decarb mix into your fuel or whatever. It won't hurt anything.

Thanks. I have seen YouTube videos of folks using 1 can per gallon. I thought that was kinda rough for an engine. I sprayed the aerosol SeaFoam into the ports on the jets, and then ran with the mixture, what a difference it has made.

My dealers method was spray into each carb till the engine sounds like it's going to die.

Then let it sit overnight, then run the motor and it's done.

Deep creep is the same stuff but in an aerosol can so you can just spray it in the intakes. I like to spray it in the cylinders, too , but I'm told there is no need to

Deep Creep is made by SeaFoam, just in aerosol formula

We had a Napa do a grand opening near me and they had a bunch of stuff for cheap. I Bought 2 cases of seafoam. Price came out to $4 and change per can.
