I have heard wonderful stories about Seafoam Products and was wondering where in the US they might be available. I have found several places that sell them online but would prefer to find them locally if possible.

I can't swear to it, but I think I buy mine at Advance Auto Parts, or our local O'Reilly Auto parts store.
NAPA may sell it too.
I use it clean out my intakes on my Jap import cars.
Works pretty well too.Gone but never Forgotten:

My inlaws have ran a chainsaw and lawnmore shop for years. They refer to seafoam as magid juice. They use the spray and the additive. The local napa carries it here, as well as car quest. Price will vary from $6.00 to 3.85 a can. Good stuff, I use it in everything that has a motor in it.JJJComment

I've bought it both at NAPA and Checker auto parts stores here in Northern Utah. Many of your stores in southern Idaho are supplied from warehouses down here.
Hope this helps. I'm a believer in SeaFoam!

NAPA sells it here in NY as well. The also have Sea-Foam bug remover. I tried it and it did not work as easy as they said (of course the bugs were on there 8-10 months. I guess I should wash my bike more.Gary Granger

My business partner found some at a local Car Quest auto parts and since he also owns a used car lot..... he ordered a case at wholesale. Guess I will grab a couple cans and give it a try.1978 XS1100E "Flashback"

I boguht a can of SF carb cleaner at NAPA today. Stuff scared the hell outa me. They should put a warning on it saying that this product will return your engine to it's proper working speed. I had no idea how powerful this bike is. My front wheel came off the ground today under what is my normal wrist twist for acceleration. runs smooth as hell now.79 XS1100F "JINGUS"

All you seafoam advocates, how do you use it? I checked out the website and it mentions directly in the intake, in the gas tank, and even in the oil crankcase. Anyone ever have any bad experience with it?Robert

SAys on the can to add 1oz per gallon of gas approx. 16 oz can and a 5 gal gas tank I added a little more than a 1/4 of the can to the tank.
Their are instructions on the can for doing the carbs, Crankcase and injectors.
I just put it in the tank when I filled up.
Cleaned my air filter for the first time a few days ago. Found a wasp nest living in the center. Saw no performace increase after removaly but that funny buzzing sound went away after shutting off.79 XS1100F "JINGUS"

Seafoam Products
Hey Guys,
You're not gonna believe this one...
A few years ago I was using seafoam in my bike.
After opening the can and pouring in the recommended amount...
I set the can down for a second... and my 'ol hound dog grabbed the can and took a big swig (or 2)...he stood there for a second...
gave me a funny look, then tore off 'round the house and down the road...he didn't stop runnin' 'till he got to Oklahoma.
How do I know that ? He sent me a Post card...sayin' he was plum give out, and to tired to run back to Washington (unless I sent him a can of Seafoam)
Which only goes to show...the stuff is so good it'll even get your ol' hound dog runnin' again...
