    Default seafoam


    if you were like me, ya hear about "the mechanic in a can" and the magic it preforms. well i just ran some through my zuki, as a last ditch effort before taking it to the wrench. i had let it sit for a month without additive in it and it was running rough. put it in saturday and hooked the hose to it. i would go out about every three hours, and it would run a little better every time. let it run for about ten minutes each time. it still has a little shutter to it at idle but it is 90% better. if this has fixed my problem, i will never run one again without some being in my tank.

    i hope you are using sta-bil ethanol treatment as well because gas with 10%ethanol can mess your motor up as well.

    Simple I run it thru every thing that runs on gas several times a year. I buy it by the gallon.

    Simpleman, I'm not sure what problems you are having with your suzuki, but let me tell you what happend to my 2003 115 4 stroke. While at the beach it would not accelerate. Ran like it was starving for gas. Come to find out it was the pick up pump on the rear of the engine that developed a tear in the diaphram, and allowed gas to enter the engine and ended up in the crankcase. A quick way to check this is pull the dipstick and smell it for gas or look to see if it is overfull. The mechanic said ethanol was the culprit and recommended stabill of seafoam. Seafoam also decarbonizes engines very well. Hope this helps.

    Just get him on, then we'll worry about getting him in!
