Ok I read countless posts on the advantages of seafoam...I have 1991 Merc 25hp 2stroke...I have a bad habbit of running her a little rich..lately been finding its a pain to start cold..but when she starts she is ok ...Im guessing choke area.I checked lines, bulb vent etc all good....I want to double check my choke again....CTC has Seafoam on sale pickup a can and I decided I want to give it a run....I have a 25lt tank..should I add the 2oz to a gallon like instructions or use more like I have read in other posts...I have about a 1/2 tank of 3 week old SHell Gold octain gas mixed with Shell Nautilus 2 cycle oil...What do you guys suggest for a first seafoam run (atleast within last two years)?

A head wind...... She's gonna smoke! I would suggest that you follow the instructions on the bottle, if that does not clear her throat, then add some more. In this case it is easier to cut a little piece on than to cut a little piece off. Good luck!

I would dump the entire can into a full gas tank to clean up an older 2 stroke.

After full can change plugs and use amsoil synthetic oil for 2 stroke mix going forward

where could I get some amsoil synthetic oil ?

hey solo

So you suggest dump the whole can? Ok dump the can and operate engine as usual? Or should I let it get into engine let sit for a hour or so and the start engine again? Let me know exactly what to do. thanks

Read the can and use according to fuel available! Tybo calls it "grenade in a can" for a reason!

If you go to the seafoam website, it will tell you exactly how to use it for your situation.

I used 1/2 can at the beginning of the season into about 80 litres of gas. I add a bit more when I refil. I like to keep it above 1/4 because I'm out on the big lake. Ask Randy from Sturgeon about Sea-Foam I think he drinks the stuff.
