Default SEAFOAM

I know everyone swears by this stuff, and I have been running it through the gas tank for the past 2 fill-ups. I was wondering when people say that they run it directly into the carbs.....how do i do that. The directions on the seafoam website are kinda vague, and I haven't been able to find any directions on how to do this yet.

back in the good old days,we used to pour atf into the carb on our cars,it cleans the carbon off the valves.it will make your bike smoke like a freight train but it doesnt hurt anything,just pour slow and keep the revs up.

I use Seafoam about once a month in the tank and once a year a do a SeaFoam day....

SeaFoam day is when I pull the tank off, take the air filter out and pour Seafoam right down the carbs, about a shot glass worth in each cylinder. Let set for 1/2 hour, repeat twice more. This helps clean the pistons and valves. After that I pour half a bottle in the tank and run the crap out of it. Cleans things nicely.

As far as the directly into carb thing, I havent figured it out.

hey scrufdog. when you said you pour a shot into each cylinder and let it sit. then you start it up? or connect gas tank and let it run for a little?

hook the tank up and run it for about 10 seconds. Actually I forgot to add that the last one I tap the starter a pinch to splash the SeaFoam into the exhaust valves, just enough of a tap so it wont start.
