[@mitchellgiebler3396]

life time supply to ya man....sea foam hook the guy up!!

[@usonthegwaii]

no, water doesn't clean the throttle bodies/carbs and intake valves like sea foam does. water does clean the combustion chamber and exhaust valve though. i wouldn't put water in my fuel tank to clean the fuel passages/injectors either. i also fill my fuel filter with seafoam when changing it on my 7.3idi diesel too...works wonders. seafoam in the tank also stopped a generator i aquired from"hunting" for idle too. and works great as a fuel stabilizer when storing things like pressure washers and chainsaws too. add to tank then run it for a minute or two.i' ve been using it for many YEARS and never have fuel issues in any of my motors, atv included.

[@802Garage]

I have no idea how water would do anything close to what Seafoam does.

[@GModBMXer]

802 Garage It's called steam cleaning. Water is the most effective way to clean out a hydrocarbon mess in your engine. There's plenty of articles about it to. Using a spray bottle into yhe throttle body is an easy way to clean out the exhaust valves and piston heads

Arguably the most comprehensive series of Seafoam test videos on KZbin! Keep going! Also I want to say a huge "THANK YOU!" for using good video making practices: 1) Planning out your video before shooting - AKA scripting 2) Simple, steady camera work - tripods are your friend 3) Good audio - stay close to the mic, avoid windy conditions and other background noise 4) Editing - chop out redundant footage and make careful use of time-lapse. I've watched so many YT videos with great content that were rendered all but useless because the authors didn't follow these practices.

Hey Todd. I've been having fun going through a bunch of your old videos just to make sure I haven't missed any for "thumbs up". I realized something with these seafoam system videos, that when you moved beyond the ranger pickup videos, to the air-cooled utility engines, you were only using one part of the seafoam treatment, and only using the intake/hotsoak part. The fuel additive and the crankcase additive are just as important for a deep clean that cleans the valves + guides and the piston skirts / cylinder rings / grooves. I'm kind of curious now to see just how much improvement that would make.

[@Lees920]

Now you have my attention. I have an old Craftsman edger that i bought in 1979. I haven't run it since about 1990. All I ever did was change the oil and spark plug, and sharpen the blade. I will have some Seafoam coming soon and I'll give it a try and see how it goes. Thanks for another great test.

[@GroverDuffield]

I have used both seafoam and water in different vehicles. I found seafoam performed well in company trucks that were not maintained well before I took the job. In the early 90's I moved to California from a non-EPA state. I had replaced my EPA carb on my Nissan pickup and was no longer using my 7 year old catalytic converter but still had it. I bolted the cat in and proceded to dribble water from a garden hose through the carb while maintaining a high idle for over half an hour. actually had a dribble of water coming out of my tailpipe. I took it in for emissions testing the next day. The truck had over 200k miles on it and passed the testing with flying colors. The test station said they rarely had vehicles test so cleanly. I had over 300k on it when I got rid of it.

[@beckywatt5048]

Grover Duffield I was taught to use water drip also,never used it on a vehicle w/ a cat on it,I presume it cleaned the cat with an hydrogen or steam reaction .A clogged or fouled cat probably causes most problems.(computer controlled carburetors what a nightmare here in the north.)

[@wildefox1478]

It's hard to get an accurate compression reading in some small four stroke engines especially horizontal shaft engines because all of the horizontal shaft engines I've torn down had an automatic decompression system on the camshaft which is obviously so it's easier to pull the engine over with the rope. Seafoam did do a great job at cleaning and even increasing the compression slightly in your engine. That's awesome that you've had that edger for 25+ years and it still runs like a champ. Good old Briggs and Stratton engines will run forever if you take care of them.

[@ProjectFarm]

[@Sam-fj1ug]

In the old days mechanics would drain the oil out of the engine then use kerosene to fill for oil and run for a minute or two then drain it,,,,voyolha clean engine. A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.......

[@atlaseagle9353]

I personally used diesel. drained oil, filled up with diesel, disconnect power line to coil pack or coils. crank a few times. let it soak. repeat the cranking every hour or so through the day. finally. reconnect the power to the coil packs. start your engine a few times. do not let it run any longer then 10 seconds at a time at the most. drain diesel, refill and change the oil filter, run the engine till you reach operating temperature. drain again, and change filter. it deeply cleans the engine if done right. it gets rid of the oil sludge and burnt oil build up in engine. sea foam in the other hand, cleans valves, the tip of the pistons, and the throttle body.

[@ProjectFarm]

Sam, Others have commented in the other Project Farm videos recommending this approach. I hope to try this approach in a future video! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

[@Slick1G3]

sam that was before they invented detergent oil and it only was to remove sludge in the lower half of the engine and oil holes not the cylinders ....

Sam, I have seen that done in the Philippines. It works.

[@jamesglenn2006]

The kerosene would wash out the lead from the fuel.

[@wcrowe75]

Compression in a motor tends to build as the engine experiences more revolutions until the presser exceeds the "containment" pressure of the valves/piston rings. I believe the reason for the high disparity between your before and after results for the first several pulls was perhaps due to a more "exuberant" pull after seafoam. I do believe the final pull numbers though, and a 5% increase in compression is nothing to sneer at! Nice video!

btw that gauge doesn't measure compression it measures cylinder pressure. the two are similar but not the same. compression is a measurement of volume while cylinder pressure is the measurement of pressure the piston creates as it rises.

Project Farm great video, no blabbing on and straight to the point, nice work man!

[@mikefranklin7452]

The gauge does not measure cylinder pressure because the cylinder does not hold any pressure. Its called a compression gauge because it measures the compression pressure created by the piston and piston compression rings as it compresses the air taken in by the piston and forced upward towards the engine head there for calling it a compression test. So in other words the compression gauge measures the compression pressure created by the piston and piston rings.

I worked in a Sunoco gas station back in the 60s when they were also repair garage is where you can get your oil changed in your car tuned up or a head gasket put on. The owner was an ex drag racer at the local club level it was very successful. Before he would tuneup someone’s car, he got a pitcher of water, which was about a gallon, he would take off the air cleaner and warm the engine up. Then he would work, the throttle by hand while pouring in the carb intake.. Black sludge came out the exhaust pipes. He said that was carbon being shocked off of the valves and piston. Then he would do the tuneup with new points condenser and spark plugs, and a check of the advanced mechanism in the distributor, then he would set the Point dwell and finally the timing with a timing light..

In high school,1970, I used to use carb cleaner,or heet,heat, and pour it down the carb of my 1965 mustang. Had to pour slowly to keep it running. Was told by my auto shop instructor that it would free up any sticking rings and help remove carbon build up.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm a little surprised that removing the carbon increased pressure, as it would have created more volume in the combustion chamber. I'm thinking it has removed buildup from around the rings and they are now sealing better. Interesting test, thanks.

I understand how each will work to clean the internal parts. With water you are steam cleaning the engine. With Seafoam you are using a solvent. I'd prefer Seafoam because it's petroleum based and petroleum is what's deposited inside the engine.

[@10MinutestoRouletteFortune]

Cool. don't forget to clean your spark plugs after foaming.

Great point!

[@apuuvah]

So, it cleaned it a bit. So might any number of products, including water (steam), which you seem to have tested. As always, good work and thanx.

about to seafoam my 1989 Toyota pickup today after you Ranger video. Good stuff man

Maxwell, Those Toyota trucks last forever! Did you experience any improvements? Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

[@atomedgesharpening]

Yes sir! You could feel the whole truck idle before hand. Now? Smooth as silk. The low end torque had a half second delay when you'd mash the gas, now I can use my big toe on the pedal and it picks up just great. After the hot soak the smoke just poured out. I must have left a good half mile path through my neighborhood getting to the highway to really open it up. When starting it the engine had to crank about 3 times before it'd start up, now on the first turn over it's running. I haven't even run through the oil and gas yet, just put em in an hour ago, did the intake wash out at the same time. Immediate results.

Changed the spark plugs on my truck. Before putting the new spark plug in I put an ounce of seafoam in each cylinder. Then I let the truck sit for a week before I started it. That did wonders for it.

Thanks for the feedback.

Watching Pf is the modern equivalent to a subscription to Consumer Reports back in the 90's....but Better!!

[@Walczyk]

Notice how big the black smoke cloud was? A lot more junk was burnt off. I love doing this for lawn mower engines. PB Blaster's Lawn Mower Tune Up is excellent!

Thanks!

Excellent test! I wouldn't ever use water we already know beyond doubt water inside engines is not good. Why tempt fate after this machine still runs well after 25 years of use, I just wouldn't do it myself.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you for the feedback

[@jamesflanagan7102]

Absolutely wonderful video keep up the great work! I vote for Seafoam.

[@ProjectFarm]

James, Thank you for the encouraging comments regarding the video work! Also, thanks for voting!

[@Iceaxehikes]

In the old days we used 50/50 mix of water and auto trans fluid down the carb while engine up to temp and running. The carbon would occasionally make it all the way out the tailpipe. We use Seafoam to fog the internals of our 2 stroke snowmobiles before storing them for the summer. Added to the gas tank at near empty. Ride till warmed up. Store with a full tank of gas to prevent condensation in the tank.

Matthew, Thank you for watching the video and commenting!

[@Shane-Singleton]

Been watching the seafoam videos on your channel. Subscribed :) Can't wait to see the water tests. I've heard about doing this too.

hallis1, Thank you for subscribing! Also, thanks for watching the video and commenting!

[@aSpyIntheHaus]

I'll pas on some advice/a thing I started doing recently if I want to run something through a carb. I have an old Airbrush which allows me to vaporise the fluid that I want to add. Works a treat.

Thanks for sharing.
