I have tried it on a few different things, boats, go carts, motorcycles....never felt a difference.
IDK - guess it doesn't hurt but not sure if it helps either

if you have high miles on it don't dump it in the crank case. It will strip down your seals and they will began to fail. It to help keep all the carbon build up out of the crank case. Some ppl will put a shot of ATF in the crank case too for the same effect. You won't notice a difference....and I personally don't do it. B/c you seals are already swollen tight why break them lose? Your best bet is to take a spray bottle and unplug your break booster and LIGHTLY spray it down the tube and slightly rev the engine. I use about 1/3 of the can in my break booster and I will spray some right at the throttle body then dump the rest in the tank. Don’t be alarmed if your exhaust starts smoking like cheech and chong that’s all the carbon build up being burnt away.
