Official Answer
Yes, Sea Foam will clean carburetor jets. Here’s what to do for a gummed up carburetor:
- Check condition of spark plug(s). 2. Drain or siphon the old fuel from the tank. 3. Drain each carburetor bowl. (see IMPORTANT if not easily accessible) 4. After removing gasoline from the tank and carburetor, add a mixture of Sea Foam followed by 8 ounces of fresh gasoline (1 to 2 ratio). 5. With the cleaning mixture in the fuel tank, crank/prime/rope-pull the engine to draw the cleaning mix into the carburetor(s). 6. Allow engine to sit and soak – Overnight to 24 hours if possible, 48 to 72 hours when necessary. 7. Once the engine starts and runs, Sea Foam in the tank will continue to dissolve residues as fuel is drawn through the carburetor. 8. Add more fresh fuel when ready to operate engine under load (working engine). IMPORTANT: If unable to drain carburetor or old fuel remains in tank, remove spark plugs and add a high concentration of Sea Foam and fresh fuel to the tank. Follow steps 5 and 6 with spark plugs removed.
