I may have accidentally discovered something using Seafoam additive and ethanol gasoline fuel problems.
First, my farm truck wouldn't stay running this spring-- 1967 F600, 6cyl--despite Stabil in the fall and running it out of fuel. A couple hours effort, fresh fuel and no dice. Anyway, in exasperation I just poured some Seafoam in the carb, closed the choke and came back the next day. It started right up and ran a little rough for a while but I'm good to go. I put a can and a half of Seafoam in the tank and it's off to the races for me. Not perfect yet but almost.
Encouraged by that, I poured some Seafoam in the tank of my weedwacker that wouldn't start right or run right and let it sit overnight. Ran rough the next day but it ran and it's getting better. I put some Seafoam in the tank along with some no-ethanol gas and I think all will be OK.
Probably everyone already knows this but it's news to me and I just wanted to pass it along, just in case.
