Has anyone used the Seafoam Carb cleaner to clean their Carburator? I'm having rough cold starts I feel the carbs are dirty but I cant take them apart yet

SeaFoam is over priced and over-hyped.

Berryman's B12 Chemtool is a MUCH better carb cleaner......as is Gumout.

The new GumOut looks like pretty good stuff.

I also prefer the chemtool B12, but either way, some cleaner in the tank can't hurt and may do the trick. I was having a little problem with my choke/enricher circuit earlier this season. After putting some (cleaner) in the tank, and repeatedly running it with choke on for a little longer than usual, it helped.

lucas fuel system cleaner is actualy good stuff as well

Rough cold starts and carbs were not unheard of. I'd be worried about anything that would clean without damage. I dont thik theres an additive you'll dump in and have it do an amazing job.

Apparently you've never met Mr. Berryman.

If things are not TOO bad, it does amazing things. :righton:
Sometimes even if things ARE really bad.

Of course, that assumes that the problem really is just varnish and gum in the carb.
It won't dissolve rust particles clogging the jets.

Try draining the float bowls first, to see if there are any large particles in there. You can easily do that with the carbs still on the bike. If you find any crap in the drainage (there shouldn't be) there could be a couple of reasons for that we can discuss later. After draining, run some cleaner of your choice from the above options thru the system to see if it helps.

Just read an article about motorcycle carb cleaner. I have researched a lot and found this really fantastic. Hope you guys will be benefited from here.
