Seafoam?

Re: Seafoam?
One of my ex-neighbors (I moved) used to work as an instructor for OMC - All
of the Johnson outboard mechanics have to attend classes every so often to
keep their OMC Certification. Anyway.....shortly after he moved into the
neighborhood - my Scout was running..............actually it was barely
running & I was even considering a rebuild. He walked across the street &
gave me (2) 12oz bottles of "Carbon Guard". He said to pour one bottle down
the carb, then put 1oz/15gal into the gas tank. It didn't seem to help much
at first - but about a week later - I was coming home from work (approx
60-65mph) & it started bucking, sputtering & backfiring. Just as I thought
it was going to blow.........it kind of smoothed out & started running like
a recently tuned engine. It was kind of like a snake oil commercial. I guess
a large piece of carbon must have gotten lodged somewhere & it finally let
loose. The Scout still has not been rebuilt - but it won't go more than 2
tanks without that stuff.
about $10.00 for 1 12oz bottle & 2oz per 33 gal tank - it's worth it to
me...........
