If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Do you guys use Sea Foam? Or any additive really. I was going to run a little through my 450.
 
Yup, great stuff. Lots of threads here about that stuff can be found using the search function.

I wouldn't use it in the crankcase, but it works very well in the fuel system. I use it to keep my carbs clean, and it's also a stabilizer.

Nominal amount of about 1oz/gallon of fuel keeps the carbs clean & the fuel fresh...

Of course, if the carbs need a major cleaning Seafoam won't avoid that, but IMO it works well to keep clean carbs clean.
 
I used Seafoam, no complaints, but now I use "Star Brite" "Star Tron" because it goes a little further (cheaper).
If I didn't use that I'd probably use Marine Sta-Bil, or just Sta-Bil.
With ethanol, I think you got to use something, unless your lucky enough
to find no ethanol gasoline and not let it set up too long.
 
It is good stuff. I used some once and this happened.

I wonder what he was using it as?
Jeep, did you smoke it, drink it or shoot it up? :confused:

Sorry guys Aphrodite was born from the FOAM of the SEA as in the painting.
But it is actually wonderful stuff. Use as directed.
 
Just added some Star Tron to my fuel, and the bike ran without the usual grumpiness I've attributed to ethanol. I have been running Sea Foam for quite some time, and it wasn't made nearly this much difference.
 
Star Tron is my bikes beverage of choice, in small quantities of coarse.
 
pure acetone works better, cleans the carbs and fuel system, gives you better MPG and is cheaper

I have never heard of this. What sort of ratio would it be used at? will it "stabilize the gas or just clean the carbs?

I'd be interested in knowing more.

Cheers,

Hi,

I tried this in my tank once. It ran a little rough.

Snopes thinks it's BS but even if you are right I have to agree with their other reason not to use it!

As Tom of Car Talk noted in January 2006:
Here's our final reason not to use [acetone]: It dissolves paint. So if you slip and spill a little bit outside you fuel filler door, you'll have a nice, unpainted line running down to the bottom edge of your rear quarter panel. When we see you drive by, we'll know you didn't take our advice!
