This is a pretty simple question, but where can I buy some seafoam for my motor? We do not have any really good boat shops here so I have to send out for things. Also I was thinking of disconnecting the fule line that goes into the carb so that I can squirt some in and let it set for a day or two. Will that do the job of cleaning it out?
Thanks

B-12
You can aslo use something from Walmart called Berrymans B-12....I used two cans per 12 gal. tanks and it cleared up a clogged carb that I had. Runs about 3.xx per can vs. 5.xx for Seafoam. I like Seafoam for fogging my engine and laying it up for the Winter but the B-12 cleared my dirty carb problem. Run your motor hard for about an hour.
I get Seafoam at the local AutoZone. Use it as a stabilizer more than a cleaner but ever since using it religiously, haven't had a problem with the carbs on any of my motors (boat, lawnmower, generator, etc.). The directions say you can pour it directly into the fuel lines, but I've never tried that.
