baironhorse Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) 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)?

HTHM Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I would dump the entire can into a full gas tank to clean up an older 2 stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Read the can and use according to fuel available! Tybo calls it "grenade in a can" for a reason! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 If you go to the seafoam website, it will tell you exactly how to use it for your situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipfisher Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
