Already knew this but it popped up and I just couldn't stop watching, you did good my guy.
Appreciate it bro
I am watching this as I also watch a huge plume of white smoke pouring out of my seafoam treated 1980 4.5 hp 2 stroke. Thanks for the video brother.
No problem I hope your motor gets clean as a whistle thanks for the comment
You can also add the seafoam directly to your tank..... It definitely helps on minor fuel system cleaning.....
Thanks SK I appreciate the info and support my friend
I bet the neighborhood was real happy with you that day....lol. ;)
Lol
Good video man you helped me out a lot earned a sub👍🏼👍🏼
I appreciate it thanks 🎣🎣
im sure our neighbors love when we do this lol
Appreciate this video my man. This helped me.
Thanks for watching im glad it helped you out 💯
I'm going to do the same this week, thanks for the video
Yes sir no problem I run some in every year just for the hell of it my motor is still running good and it’s 36 years old
Thanks for the great video!
Thanks I appreciate you watching the channel I’ll be back fishing soon
Great Video!
Thanks I appreciate the support
I had some engine problem with my boat a while back too. Won't know till you trouble shoot them all. Thanks for sharing
Yes sir thanks for the comment my friend these boats will live in your wallet lol
Great video. Thanks for the info. I’m about to do the same procedure on my motor. Seems to help. I don’t typically belive in “snake oil” fixed but this sea foam product appears to be legit.
Yes it is I help a bunch thanks for the comment hope your a subscriber
I use Seafoam on all my engines, diesel to 2 stroke. Keeps the "varnish" out of the fuel system when it is not being used and clean when running. Great tip on mixing on an engine wit the oil mix at/by the engine! My Mercury runs rough, smokes at slow speed and oil on plugs. I shall use good oil and pre mix my own fuel. I do know how to remove the oil mix mechanism but pre mix is a good way to check B/4 removing.
Thanks! Good video, makes me think again! :-)
Yes sir I love this stuff now that for stopping by hope you subscribed and thank again
First off if you trim the engine down it’ll start easier. With it tilted that much the fuel in the carbs isn’t level. Second bumping the choke like that does virtually nothing. You have to hold it when you first start. Hold it until the engine starts to brake up from to much fuel. These are great old engines. I have a 89 200hp.
Thanks for the comment and advice I really appreciate it
@@HoldemHookTV no problem. I just got an 87 50hp a few weeks ago that’s runs perfect. Started my 200 two days ago after sitting all winter and it fired up within about 6 seconds. Can’t beat it.
Good job motor sounds good
Thanks a lot I appreciate the comment
Run Marine Pro at the recommended 2 ounces per gallon in your take at WOT most of the time until your refuel. After that do the 1 ounce per gallon maintenance rate. Happy New Year!
Thank for the info I really appreciate it hope you’re a subscriber
Thank you this is a great video
We have the same motor. Thanks good buddy 👍
I appreciate it hope your motor takes you to Great places
Not sure where the overlap is....but "Sea Foam Deep Creep" sprayed directly behind the spark plugs (and leave over night) will do a good job too!
Thanks for watching
Seafoam is the best 💯

Did you put the whole bottle in for 1 gallon? Also do you use ethanol or non ethanol
I ran seafoam in my outboard yesterday , before it kept bogging down and wanting to stall . I ran it for 30 minutes and now it sounds great. I’m gonna do it a few more times just to do a through flush ..:
Yes sir that stuff works great it time for me to do my motor again I’m glad it help you out
@@HoldemHookTV I have a 15 gallon tank in my 13 whaler and wondering if every time I fill up should I run some more in the tank. Not every fill up but maybe every other fill up
I think I’m having the same problem it start and run then when accelerating it bogging down
After sitting two years mine wouldn't idle and was about to take the carb off to clean it. I seen this and gave it a shot. I was skeptical but, it worked.
I’m glad it help you out after all this time thanks for watching
How did you run it through if it wouldn’t even idle ? Ive got the same issue. Sat for 2 years and won’t idle now
@@Haegan_Lee I ran it just slightly above idle where it would stay running for about a half hour. Mine would idle for a short time and die, if yours won't idle at all then you don't have much choice but to clean the carb. I switched to non ethanol gas and semi synthetic oil with a couple ounces of Sea Foam. Seemed to run better than ever, At the end of the season I pull the fuel line off and let it run till it dies. No issues at all this year.
@@gearbanger57 awesome thanks for the reply. I’m so ready to get on the water but I’m a little scared to mess something up cleaning the carb myself. It will idle 15 seconds and die
@@Haegan_Lee That's what mine was doing. Can you get it off idle and rev it up? Sea Foam will clean a gummed up carb but, if there's debris in the idle passage not much else you can do but clean the carb.
Great video man! I may have missed it, but how much of what did you mix in the gallon jug? Thank you!
I put the whole bottle in
I’m using the blue and white can of seafoam the marine one on a four stroke 40 hp you recommend me only using 1 gallon of gas with a whole can
Yes
wOOt ! Thanks for sharing
No problem hope your a subscriber
I've got a 2003 mercury 2 stroke. Was thinking about doing this same thing... so u think it works good??
Yes it work great thanks for the ? Hope you’re a subscriber
I'd be worried about getting crap built up in the jets. The varnish etc has to go somewhere. Also...I've been running a 1990 yammy 175hp for 32 years with the oil tank. Never a hiccup.
Thanks for watching and yes I I’ve clean all the nets and stuff it’s running good thanks for watching
Fogging for mosquitoes at the same time,....brillant!.
I knw rite and they had my back yard on fire that day thanks for the support and comment
Can you just use regular gas on a 2 stroke and have the engine properly mix for you? Your gallon of gas is just replacing your gas tank correct?
Yes you can but I don’t just the oil pump if it goes out and you don’t knw it can kill your motor
Hey i got a question I got a 85 it works great out of the water on muffs but in the water it’s like it doesn’t go in to gear it does out of the water In the water it won’t acelarate
Well in the water is a lot more pressure versus muff. So you may need to check the compression. And run seafoam in the motor see if those things help first.
Good deal mike. It worked for me also. My 115 evinrude smoked like it had a bad habit too. Cleaned it good but i did have some oil in the prop shaft afterwards. Did you? After that no more probs. Thanks dude
No I didn’t experience that problem but how is the motor doing now
@@HoldemHookTV could be the seal on the shaft. Didnt investigate it as the cold weather rolled in early this year but all seems well. I will update you in spring 2022.
Do you have to have the motor in gear the whole time or can it be in nuetral
I just did a shock seafoam treatment on my evinrude 15hp. Worked great, but I also had some tan colored sludge in my prop afterwards. I was concerned at first, but I'm thinking its just from the seafoam treatment. Haven't drained gear oil yet.
So - After two years, how is your motor running? Have a 78 Johnson 115 planning to do this when weather warms up.
It’s still running great thanks for watching you can do it,it’s not that hard
hows the johnson?
Hey man, i got some oil on my plugs. Will it just burn off or do i have a problem? Thanks
I think a lil oil is fine as long as it’s not soaked in oil you should be fine hope you subscribed and 🎣
do you have a 2 cycle or a 4 stroke a little oil is expected on a 2 cycle but it could be a sign that you are running a little rich so open you air mix screw a little do a hot run shut down your engine without idling pull the plugs and have a look if still oily open your air mix screw a little more. if your engine sputters when your opening your air mix then you are leaning to far out close it up. also check and see if your fuel oil mix is correct. if you run heavy on your oil you will blow smoke and your plugs will be oil fouled
Thanks for the info it’s all good now I appreciate it
Hello Sir....I watched your video and I wanted you to know that I have a 1989 Cobra Bayliner with a 125 HP Force Engine. I made a mistake and did not winterize it because I thought it would be ok since I had it in my garage. Well, it wasn't. I made an appointment with my local boat mechanic and waited three weeks for him to get it in to look at it. Finally when I he was ready to work on it I took it to him and three weeks go by and nothing. I call him and he tells me he has not looked at it yet because he has been so busy. I am thinking what the hell? The whole reason I waited three weeks was because of him being busy with other boats. So I went and brought it home....saw your video and I did it myself. Results????? Perfect, she was really dirty in fact my neighbors thought my house caught fire that is how smoky it was. Now she starts right up and purrs like a kitten. Thank you.
Well I’m glad it help you do that at least once a year and they also have the marine grade seafoam you can use daily by adding a little to your fuel I appreciate the comment and support hope your a subscriber and I’m glad you got your boat run good that’s y I do this not just for me but to help other ppl 🎣good luck on your fishing adventures
What happened after you did it a few more times? Any noticeable difference? Need a follow up video to your most popular video!
I have one coming soon thanks for the comment hope your a subscriber
I want to do this but my neighbors would freak out😂 I'm going to run some in my fuel tank at the lake. You should never ever race your engine up with just Waters muffs. Better of with a barrel or a lake.
Sea foam is the best bro i used it on my 1993 mercury 75hp
Thanks did you subscribe to the channel
Yeah
My daddy is the best at teaching me how to fish
😁
i use seafoam in every tank of fuel in al my engines and do a shock like this with all new to me engines that i purchase in is a good fuel stabilizer for winter in boats and works for summer in snowmobiles and snow blowers. sea foam is great stuff
Thanks for the comment and yes it is some good stuff hope your a subscriber
💪🏿
The injectors AND the carburetor were dirty? I don't think its going to have both.
Thanks lol
Did you mix oil with the gas?
Yes
You can do it
Just remove the carbs an clean em my guy. Get a carb kit with some new seats an your carbs won’t drain 👍🏻.. sea foam is good to run but 9 times out of 10 won’t fix a problem.
Exactly.
My 2014 9.9 Yamaha 4 stroke went from running poorly to barely starting and only running above 1200 rpm. I pulled the carb (which was not tightened properly) and removed the float bowl drain plug. I drained out about 1/16” of a teaspoon of grit! Upon further inspection I found the low speed jet was completely clogged and the high speed jets transverse holes were clogged as well. The choke was frozen in the open position. It took me about an hour to clean everything up and reassemble. Most of the time was spent freeing up the choke and cleaning the gaskets. The engine now starts with 0 cranking time. Just “click” and it is running smooth. No chemical treatment would have helped my motor and start to finish my repair cost me 1-1/2 cans of carb cleaner and about 1-1/2 hours of time.
Thanks for the comments
A few comments.
If maintenance, no harm.
If you have low idle, wide open throttle or starting problems - I hate to break it to you but you need to run down the list:
Fuel
Spark
Air
Don't bother with air unless there's a birds nest in your carb.
Spark? Break out $10 and replace plugs "just because"
Fuel?
Hose; if it's more than 10 years? Replace
In line fuel filter? Cleaner or replace, like $5
Fuel pump? If less than $30 replace. Why not?
Carbs...
Buy the kit. Learn to take it apart, soak in a ultra sonic cleaner machine with dawn and aluminium safe coolant.
30 mins hotest seeting.
Rebuilt with all the pictures you took before and all the new gaskets (which are now ethanol safe) including floats
56 minutes on 1 gallon..... that's not bad
No sir
That engine is idled just a little high
I have it in the shop I’m just to busy to work on if and yes it was a little high thanks for the comment and support
10:10 😂
Reving it that high will also burn a motor up even with muffs
Ok thanks
It can damage the reed's but for the most part it'll be ok. Sea foam is a great product for removing carbon build up. I also use it as a fuel treatment by adding one ounce to every other gallon thatll prevent future problems.
also, in theory, couldnt one just take it to the water armed with the concentrated seafoam jug and heat cycle it like that??? could being under load help?...or hurt? hm
It’s sounds as if it’s only hitting on 2 cylinders, and there’s nothing wrong with my hearing
Yes sir I have had it worked on thanks for the comment
Is that the same boat!!!!!
Yes it is
just pup the carberator and handclean it with carbcleaner.. it will run much better!
Thanks for watching and the tip
So how she run now???
Yes I will put a video out on how it runs now this week just for you @ Casey Jones thanks for the support and comment
My neighbors are about to hate me
Lol let them hate
I dump seafoam directly into my carberator and then proceed to start the engine.
✅
Know what u mean don’t trust the oil tank
No sir thanks for the comment and support
It has carburetors, why are you saying it's cleaning you're injectors?
That’s the only thing you got out of the video
@HoldemHookTV nope, I seen where you can dryout bearings score cylinders and knock shit lose in crankcase so it can cause more damage.
Chevron Techron cleaner...nothing else really works.
I don’t trust the mixers I always bypass them and mix my own gas
That’s the best thing to do
Yamaha system is just fine if you maintained it one of the most reliable
I’ve deleted the ones off used Yamahas I’ve bought though
Definitely remove on all OMC
im 90 percent sure thats not running on all cyls
It was and is motor is running fine thanks for watching
I had to take the carburetors off and clean them
It don’t have injectors it has carbs with jets
It’s going to smoke it’s 2 cycle lol
Soooo i know this video is old....That motor is NOT firing on all 3 cylinders 💯. It POSITIVELY has a dead cylinder....It needs more than carbs and carbon deposits cleaned .
Boat have been fixed
And that was not the issue
