    Favorite Decarb Tricks?

    Did a decarb today. Let some Seafoam soak in the cylinders for around 6 hours. Fired it up and cleared that. Then did a follow-up with Seafoam spray through each injector throttle body while running. What does anyone else do?

    Star-Tron Ring Clean Plus every tank. Twice a season I spray the throttle body and spark plug holes with Blaster Lawn Mower Tune-Up. $4 a can at Tractor Supply Co. Easy to do and give me peace of mind. Also lets you read the plugs. I use Pennzoil XLF semi oil.

    Search a guy on YouTube that does comparisons. He uses lawn mowers with different products and shows the effects. Best I've seen was marvel mystery oil. He tried water, seafoam, all the stuff you can buy. NOTHING truly cleaned the carbon off but the mystery oil was the best. From what I saw the best thing to do is run fuel treatments in every tank. Stabil marine and ring free is what I use

    I just put a couple of cans of Seafoam in each tank and call it good. Prop looks spotless inside and plugs are clean.

    Yamaha makes a product available to dealers that is very good at knocking the carbon out of motors we have used with success on motors that are very carboned up.

    Thanks for all the input. I don't think I was in bad shape. Just trying to make sure everything is tip top. I do run Startron and Startron Ring Clean every tank.
