Is that a positive comment, or a negative comment? Or just an observation?

You take the cap off the seafoam can fill with
seafoam then pour in oil. I don't measure it.
It works for me!

Mine occasionally clogs even running carefully mixed 50:1
Starting a Stihl leaf blower will eventually clog the Spark arrester.

Are you using the cap off a gallon can or one of the 16oz cans. They are different sizes.

That's less than a glug for sure.
I use 1 glug for every gallon of gas for maintenance

You are supposed to clean the spark arrestor regularly. Wire brush and a 30 second job.Starting a Stihl leaf blower will eventually clog the Spark arrester.

I suggest you watch 'Taryl Fixes All fuel additive video. Sea Foam ain't worth a crap. Very interesting YT viedo. Startron is even worse.

That's funny, I had a stihl 044 and a 051. The 051 that I bought in the 70's and the 044 I bought mid 80's and all both of them ate was reg. pump gas and the stihl brand oil and neither one of them ever had the screen cleaned. The only thing I ever did to them was to keep the air filter clean, change a spark plug every year or so, and of course replaced chains and bars when needed, a oil cap or two and a few other related parts that normally wear out in the chain an bar area. Both would be still running if it hadn't been for the fire that burned my building down. Oh and I always mixed my gas 40:1 or i of their bottles of oil to 2 gallons of gas. Both of them preformed as good as they did when they were new.
