    Fuel System Cleaner

    I have a 200 hp Evinrude XP with oil injection that runs great. I keep it tuned
    and maintaned. My question is, I'd like to run a can of some kind of carb-injector cleaner through it just to run it through for maintenance purposes.
    What would you guys suggest?
    Thanks

    Pickup some Sea Foam. I believe the last pint I bought at AutoZone. Works good.

    Re: Fuel System Cleaner

    Will the seafoam and/or conditioner work with a non-injected Evinrude? This is an old style 70's model I'm talking about...a 70 horse, carburetors, etc...

    I run a can every other tank in a carbed motor. I swear by the stuff. It has fixed a cold start problem as well as a rough idle problem for me. It also is a fuel stabilizer. Great stuff.

    If it were me, I would have no problem adding a half a can of Sea Foam now and a full can next tank.

    Walmart has Seafoam, usually cheaper there than anywhere i have found. Last I bought was $5.46/cn. It's $10 at most marinas.

    Re: Fuel System Cleaner

    As far as I know Sea Foam will not void the warranty. It was what was recommended to me as a winterizer for my 2000 Merc 200 EFI. I just make sure that I run it with my gas through the winter as a cleaner and stabilizer and have had no problems. It can be used on carbs,EFI and direct injected engines. Can be picked up at Wal-Mart for 7.54 a can. Sta-Bil is just that. A stabilizer. It keeps fuel fresh and takes care of any water in the gas, but doesn't have the cleaning agents of Sea Foam.
