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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

for what it's worth, ive done water in my ford ranger after it was fully hot. Seemed to run MUCH better after. Per watching your other videos, did the marvel mystery oil :) thanks for this channel, much more scientific than most forums and i really appreciate it.

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..

I have a 17 year old Murray with a 4.5hp B&S engine, lived all its life outdoors and it's on the original spark plug, drive belt and blade.. I think it's only had one oil change a few years ago. Still starts first time every time! American made 👍🏼🇺🇸.

After I used seafoam on my engine it fixed my cracked head gasket, cracked engine block, slipping clutch, and made my car sound smoother and it also fixed my a thrown rod and gave me an additional 50 hp. car mechanics and oil changes are just a conspiracy by oil companys to sell filters and a liquid that basically last years. seafoam will fix anything...

Before they even thought of Sea Foam we were using DexronII ATF to clean engines and I would but 1 qt to 100 gal of diesel with an early Cat 3406 engine to keep the injectors clean. The company I drove for at the time was having problems with the fuel quality and called me into the office to ask my what I was doing to the engine. I had the only truck in the fleet without problems so they started doing it in all the trucks. I do not know if it really did anything but it sure seemed to and I used it in my cars too just like you did the other products and it did seem to clean them up both top and bottom as I also added it to the oil just before I did an oil change to flush the system.

Rich Hurd , the worst thing that the government did was to remove the sulfur from the fuel. That's what lubricated the pumps and injectors in the diesel engines. Putting the atf in replaces the sulfur. One of my friends got pulled over for a fuel check to see if he was using red dye (off road fuel doesn't pay road tax) fuel. When the officer dipped his tank he found the fuel had a red tint. He accused him of not paying the tax . when he told him about the atf the officer said we take the sulfur out and you put it back in. The driver said if you wouldn't have taken it out I wouldn't have to put it back in. Driver left without a ticket.

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!

I save $350 from not replacing a carburetor in my 2004 Sears DYT lawn tractor. 1/4 can into 5 gallon fuel tank and by the time the tank was 1/2 empty, my engine was running as smoothly as it ever has. I've always used it in my vehicles but now use it in my snowthrower, push mower and. lawn tractor. An outstanding product. I have no stake in the Seafoam company but simply believe in telling anyone/everyone when something this good happens

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.

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.

If anything it will reduce compression provided that your rings are still good. Carbon takes up space in the combustion chamber, raising compression. Removing it will add space in the combustion chamber, reducing compression. This is why race car engines have a higher compression when inspected after a race, due to carbon build up during the race.

Carbon build up increases the compression pressure. We decarbonise to decrease the compression pressure so as to prevent detonation. I'm wondering why use seafoam 🤔.
