Default Seafoamed my Snow Blower

As the title says, I seafoamed my snow blower. Its a yard machine that we got back in '98 or '99. I can't remember.

I've always been against the idea of putting seafoam in my car considering the polar stories I hear on the product. I've seen plenty of youtube videos with cars vomiting smoke like no tomorrow.

The snowblower had been neglected heavily growing up. I wasn't as mechanically incline, and it actually got its first oil change in 10 years! It ran well after that, but I decided to throw in seafoam about two weeks ago. I threw half into the oil and half into the gas, and it's been purring smoothly since. I immediately did an oil change with Penzoil Ultra, and I did a lot of maintenance work on it lubing up the gears and so. Also put a new spark plug in.

So yeah...this baby should last another decade hopefully. I recommend it if your snow blower or lawn mower is acting up. Never in my car though.

I used Seafoam in my gas tank of my Honda 750 Nighthawk motorcycle many times. That bike had 4 carbs and ran awesome when treated with Seafoam after every other oil change. It restored smooth idle and no flat spots in the throttle. Also, Gumout Jet Spray/Carb Cleaner every other oil change as well...

Do we know where/what seafoam was originally designed for........anyway, I've always added the proper amount to the "gas can" I use to fill up the yard machines I have.....lucky I live in a place where that DOES NOT include a snow blower

seafoam can only hurt your car if you don't know how to use it. I have been using seafoam for the last 10 years. I have never had a issue...Iv use it in my farm tractors lawn mowers 4wheelers you name it.
