Ditto all above. We tend to champion Seafoam because it can solve a lot of niggling minor carb problems, but it's not the magic elixir you'd think from reading the raves about it.
I read somewhere that gas starts to degrade in as little as 3-4 weeks time, progressively turning to a syrupy consistency as the volatile organic compounds in it evaporate. Seafoam can probably do a good job at reversing that process during that time. But the longer a bike sits without being run and/or without gas stabilizers in use, the thicker the syrup and the more resistant to Seafoam-type products it becomes. It will eventually become a hardened "varnish" (so-called because that what it looks like), ultimately crystalizing into hard granules. So the conventional wisdom is correct. Carbs probly need a thorough, surgical cleaning. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
