How to clean the fuel injectors on Harley Electra Glide Classic [SOLVED]
I have a 2008 Harley Electra Glide Classic with a 6 gallon tank. How much of the bottle can I use to clean the fuel injectors?
Hi Les. You can use the entire bottle as you wish, even to a lower amount of fuel – the more IC5 Fuel Injector Cleaner you add (concentration), the better it will work to clean the injectors! You can also combine IC5 with Sea Foam Motor Treatment.
Yeah but my bike won’t crank. What will happen if I soak oil on top of the pistons and without the fuel in the tank constantly?
Hey Corey – good question. Lots of guys use Sea Foam to soak piston rings. Check out this Q&A for lots of info on how to do it: https://seafoamworks.com/questions-and-answers/the-best-way-to-soak-and-clean-piston-rings-in-your-engine-solved/
The short version: Remove the spark plugs and spray some Sea Foam Spray into each cylinder cavity through the plug hole. [You could use regular liquid Sea Foam Motor Treatment, but it’s easier to use Sea Foam Spray.] Let the engine sit and soak up to 3 days (if you have the time). Be sure to crank/turn the engine once a day to loosen the rings.
