I would not fool around with sea foam or any of that stuff and just get them rebuilt. If one is running lean or has a clogged jet the motor will seem fine until that cyl burns up. I have a friend who works on Outboards and he says most of the blown heads he see's could have been prevented by having a carb. job.
