SeaFoam is great preventative maintenance. It will keep the jets clean and clean some gum & varnish. Only real way, to clean those frog hair jets, is tear 'em down and scrub. Don't risk a melt down waiting for the SeaFoam to maybe work.

Works Great for the injectors. No problem. I pick up SeaFoam by the gallon, but I have 15+ gas engines to keep running. Best cleaner and stabilizer on the market, imo.

You will have plenty of time once she burns down...would not take the chance on anything but a good cleaning...then use seafoam from that point on..and yes works real good..I switched years ago from stabel to seafoam and am very happy...use it in everything.

Seafoam is good but it is not quite that magical. You should take the carbs off and clean them right. Then use Seafoam from here on out. Right now I have dosed all my summer stuff with Seafoam and tried to run everything a little to get the stuff through the carbs. Everything from weedeaters to boat motors. This has worked for me for many years. The gas we have is crap and getting worse all the time.

I had a 2004 GSX I bought and rode for 3 years, never cleaned the jet's/carbs for 3 yrs,
But I used Sea Foam religiously. On a Michigan trip when I told my buddy I had never cleaned the carbs, he pulled them out looked at them and could not believe how clean everything was. He became a believer.
I am not saying to substitute cleaning the carbs for Sea foam, but I believe it does keep things clean.

Once the carbs are plugged it's probably to late for additives.

Using additives is probably OK in minimul quanities. You need to consider that whatever you put in the tank displaces that same amount of fuel. If you are marginal on jetting you could cross the line and melt the motor down just because you put additives in the tank. All the additives in the world won't prevent a lean condition.

Maybe summer storage requires additives but I'm not sure you should run additives on a regular basis. If you purchase gas on a regular schedule there really is no reason.

I have never put additives in any of my engines. I run my engines for short periods of time during storage to keep the fuel moving and that by itself keeps it clean and fresh.
