Nervous about putting seafoam through my motor since I just rebuilt the entire fuel system from the tank to the motor and then some. Anxious because I only have one more part before we can test it out to see if what we did helps. If it doesn't the next step is rebuilding the carbs and fuel pump (which looks like its been changed before)

Sea Foam won't hurt anything in the fuel system, however...if you just replaced the fuel delivery system, why would you need to use it at this time ?
It's function is to decarb the engine and treat fuel for long term storage. There are better products for long term storage but it works great for decarbing. You don't need Sea Foam to test your rebuild.

It's been sitting for a while and has only been ran twice in the last 2 years. I haven't rebuilt the carbs or the fuel pump yet and I'm hoping I don't have to. The rest of the fuel system is completely brand new. The seafoam would be for the carbs

there is no magic mechanic in a can that works on fuel systems that have been sitting. you will have to go thru the carbs and do a link-n-sync
