Seafoam
Today at 05:32:25
 
My recently bought a low mileage 1982 450 Honda seemed a bit gutless. Before taking the carbs off to clean out the old gunk I thought I would try using some Seafoam . I poured about 1/4 of a bottle in the tank and forgot about it. This morning when I took the rig for a spin the difference was immediately noticeable, it really flew. At best I was hoping to see an improvement over a hundred miles or so, but not straight away.

I have to say that it is not the type of engine I'm used to, it thrives on revs compared to everything else I have. I previously read that a solo CB 450 was good for 110 mph / 180 kph, but did not believe it, I believe it now. It's easily fast enough for use on the highway. I'm going to give everything I have a dose of Seafoam now.Smiley

Glad you found it ! It’s been marketed here as long as I can remember, over 75 years. My father used it way back when , he would spray it in the carb while running , turn it off spray more in it. Let it sit overnight & dump the rest in the tank. When he started it & give it a stomp and it would spit a five foot black mark on the ground from all the built up carbon & garbage and drive away smoking till it stops , good power and smooth idle once it clears out. I hear it’s possibly bad for catalytic converters , they are in-line to catch all that crap ! Something to do anytime but always before a tune up.

It's called Seafoam as it was originally intended for use in marine engines.

Not a lot of people know that.  Shocked
