    Here's a question on carb cleaning.
    I have a gallon of what is referred to a industrial carb cleaner that I typically use to clean my carbs in but I was wondering if one could clean the carbs with Sea Foam. If Sea Foam is strong enough to dissolve fuel deposits when mixed with gas, would it not work really well straight out of the can as a carb cleaner?

      I doubt it. Seafoam will sometimes clean out stuff that is a little dirty, and it will often keep things from gumming up in the first place, but it is NOT able to clean out passages that are completely clogged like a true carb cleaner will, as it's not powerful enough, just as I think nothing could be and be able to stay in a fuel system full time without damaging things. So I think you still need to use that good industrial carb cleaner.
