Seafoam sucks big time. Compression test first.

Ive got cruisers fixes in my favorites! I'll do those and clean up everything best I can and put it all back together then do a compression test and go from there.

The sad thing is that some people believe that garbage in a bottle will cure major problems. When most of the time regular maintenance will prevent a lot of it from happening.

lol i actually like seafoam, it has helped in certain situations that I decided to use it in...

by no means is it a cure-all

but when i work on peoples lawn and garden equipment, many times running seafoam through the carb helps clean it up and saves from costly rebuilds and replacements..
