I would like to run Seafoam in my Force125.

How can I run it? Do I just hook it up to the fuel line and let it suck through...

Or would I be better off putting it in the gas tank?

NO! PUT IT IN THE FUEL TANK! if ya try to have the engine suck it up itll mess up more than help.. what i do, if the motor is really gummed up, is put like half a can of it to a gallon or two of fuel. also i like "DEEP CREEP" pull the plugs and spray heavily in there and let it sit for a day or so. and itll smoke like all get out for a bit when ya start it. its ok let it clear out and itll be fine

I take the intake off, start the motor, and spray a little in all of the carbs until it bogs down a little. I repeat this like 3 times then spray more in each until it stalls out. I let it sit for about 10 minutes, then start it up and run at high idle until it stops giving off white exhaust.

are you sure? i bypassed my fuel tank and filled a small fuel jug with a full can of seafoam, and just little gas/oil, let it suck right through the whole system. runs at idle speed now, when it wouldnt before. i sure hope your wrong :confused:

no thats fine a small jug of fuel and seafoam is perfect... i had a freind of mine try and force pure foan in the fuel line .... it didnt really hurt anything but waqs a huge mess... let it run for about 5 minutes and shut it down and redo a few times youll be fine
