thanks for asking. Hopefully you'll get opinions like it works, or it melted my whatever.

We used to call them engine cocktails.
Makes the owner feel better but you never quite know the outcome.

I f you can, spotless gas tank, screen and filter, carb, keep the tank full and you can go for years without a problem.

I usually, well ALways drain my floatbowls if they're gonna sit very long.

Then again, it could be the best stuff ever made.

PB blaster gets all the rave but it WILL swell rubber seals as part of a destructive process. for instance. but that can be both good and bad, depending on what effect one is looking for

Let's hear from people who've used it.

really caught my interest, some of this stuff and fuel stabilizer should really help me out.

I've used it in the past with snowmobile engines, it works about 60% of the time if the directions are followed. If you are one of those people that thinks more is better, be prepared for a catastrophic piston meltdown, if it's a 2-stroke. The bottom line is, there is no substitute for a good ol' carb teardown and cleaning. The people that swear by Stabil and Seafoam, I'll tell you from first hand experience over the years, it leaves a dusty white film in your floatbowl if left over a month. That film can partially clog jets too.
