I have a 120hp 1993 Rude, I just bought it a couple weeks ago off of a friend, the motor runs great but its had some life, 125psi in each cylinder.
I read the Carbon Build up article in the Freq Asked Questions and was thinking that running the SEAFOAM stuff might be good for my engine, to clean it out and freshin it up.
I have a couple questions about doing this.
#1- Can I run my boat till almost empty and then just add the seafoam to the tank, run it on the lake for the recommended time and then add fresh gas or do I have to hook up another tank and mix in gas/seafoam?
#2- will the seafoam in the liquid form (not spray) clean cylinders, pistons, rings ect or only exhaust chamber.
#3- is the spray in carb form neccacary?
#4- after doing this is there any special additive that i should add to the gas to prevent carbon build-up?
#5- if possible how can you tell if an engine has carbon buildup. I get a nice puff of blue smoke every time i start my 2 stroke up, i consider that a good thing.
Thanks for the help, i look forward to the answers.
