How often should you run Sea Foam in your gas to get rid of or prevent SVS?

Probably a couple cap fulls evry 3rd tank would do it. Getting the jetting right, Not over filling the oil, and not lugging the engine will help a lot too. Have you had symptoms?

Yes I had a lot of them back when the dealership screwed my bike up. Now that I have the BAK on and have it jetted right and everything is running fine I want to run it thru for a while to clean it out. I got everything set up this last weekend and it runs really great now. As for lugging it no chance I am in the throttle every chance I get just to blow it out. It is running so good it's hard to not get on it. The carb was half way out of the manifold and the carb heater wire was off when I put the BAK on. DXXX dealers anyway. Gotta do it yourself if ya want it done right. The home made glasspac's are great just what I wanted. Thanks for your help. How are the toes mine is back to normal now wore my boots today and rode to work. <br><br>Post edited by: Curt, at: 2007/02/05 21:39

Do you have an oil change comming up soon? If you do pour about half a can of Seafoam in a full tank when your ready to change oil. Run the tank through and then change your oil. If no oil change then put a cap full in each tank for a few tanks then cut back to every 3rd tank or so. Toes are OK. They were a little sore after walking around the bike show but no biggie.

If you have the carb dialed in then you don't need any of that stuff.

Just make sure the engine gets hot (no frequent runs to the corner store for beer ) and get the revs up once in a while.

I am having the SVS on my 2005 Road* Silverado. I have over 12,000 miles on it and is just started up around the 12,000 mile mark in the early fall. The funny thing is in August I ran a can of Chevron Techron in the gas. I wonder if that had anything to do with this problem??
With all the reading in this forum about sea foam I thought I'd give it a try. My bike is snow bound at the moment, and in the mean time I purchased some seaFoam.
My question is, do i put this in the crank as prescribed? I am a little leary about that because I once put Marval Mystery Oil in an old bike and the Clutch started slipping under High Rev's. With this torque engine I sure wouldn't want that. Any recommendations? I also see that people put it in there crank and just run it hard for 100 miles or so then dump the oil.
Thanks.

If you are doing an oil treatment then it's best to do it just before an oil change so that you can dump the oil as the oil gets contaminated.

I've only done a gas treatment a couple of times when I was running too rich. I've also sprayed MMO through the carb throat; that seems to work well.

SEAFOAM testimonial: I used to have an Isuzu Amigo 4x4 that ran good ,but always idled like crap. It was that way for years. It was time to do a Emissions test on the old girl (165,000 miles, required yearly here), and I though, what the heck, I'll try Seafoam. Followed the instructions for running it through the intake (used the brakebooster vacuum line) let it sit for 5 minutes, and let her smoke. And I mean SMOKE. Like an antique train. But , to my pleasant surprise, after a 5 minute drive (with people waving me down to tell me my truck was on fire) and the smoke cleared , It began to idle the way I figured it always should have.And did so till the day I sold it. Now it stays in the garage as a staple, right beside the PB Blaster, which, if you don't know what that is , you're missing out. It puts the old stand by WD 40 to Shame, but that's another story for another time.
