Thread: SeaFoam??

  1. #1

    Default SeaFoam??

    Hey everyone,

    I have a 1985 Johnson 40hp outboard that the oil injection pump is disconnected.
    I premix and always use Stabil fuel stabilizer.
    I want to use seafoam to clean things out - what ratio to gas should I use and can it be used with Stabil??

    Thanks for everyone's time.

    you need to do a decarb to clean out, the mix according to directions on the can, to maintain a clean motor.

    also seafoam will not clean a carb, it will maintain a clean carb.

    I use Sta-bil and Seafoam together to store gas over the winter, then just Seafoam during the summer when the boat gets used everyday. I mix it 2 ounces per gallon of gas and have good results.
