I can assure you no snakes were harmed in the production of sea foam. What exactly do you want it do?
Well it appears to clean your fuel system and carbs when added to your fuel tank while also being capable of being added to your crankcase and working wonders?
I am just wondering if it is as good as they claim with regards to cleaning fuel systems and crankcases without causing damage to them and their contents. Keeping fuel fresh over the winter months would be a large bonus.
Fuel injector cleaner works, but you’ve got carbs so that won’t work for you. Adding anything that supposedly removes dirt, sludge, blue fluff etc is probable better suited to an engine with a paper element oil filter. I would only use something like this on an old high mileage car engine .
The one I was looking at also said it cleans the small carb galleries etc. I understand what you say with the paper element filters, makes sense.
Either it is a different formula or you may have tighter advertising laws as the one I was looking at earlier claims to be suitable to be added to the crankcase for cleaning etc and also if added to fuel it will help preserve the fuel etc. I will see if I can screenshot the info on the container and post it.
I don't use it myself, but your question got me curious. I went to the SeaFoam website. I am left wondering exactly what "organic petroleum ingredients" are. Follow the thread below for answers from SeaFoam itself.

I do use "Marvel Mystery Oil". My dad used it. Been around a long time. I don't know what is in it but it is a pretty red colour. Rather than slag off your choice of SeaFoam I googled a bit more and found this

Interesting comparison. It appears both are pretty good.I don't use it myself, but your question got me curious. I went to the SeaFoam website. I am left wondering exactly what "organic petroleum ingredients" are. Follow the thread below for answers from SeaFoam itself.

EDIT - turns out I have been using a "SeaFoam" product without noticing. I have been using "Deep Creep" penetrating oil for quite a while without noticing it is a SeaFoam product. Works well for me.

I personally wouldn’t add anything to the crankcase of any engine. Motorcycle specific oils , like all engine oils , are a series of additives added to base stock oils, to deal with the needs of the engine you are running. With a Laverda triple, any oil with JASO MA, or MA2 spec is extremely capable with no other additives, especially a fuel system additive!!!Either it is a different formula or you may have tighter advertising laws as the one I was looking at earlier claims to be suitable to be added to the crankcase for cleaning etc and also if added to fuel it will help preserve the fuel etc. I will see if I can screenshot the info on the container and post it.
Basically that is not far off what I have done up until now although I do use different oils in different bikes depending on the build up of the engine regarding bearing types used etc. I have been curious regarding Seafoam because of the claims the manufacturer makes and also a few reviews and videos I have seen. None have been laverda specific though so I thought I would ask on here if anyone had tried it and if so whether it was any good.
“Top Tier” gasoline is actually an option available in Canada. Not sure about other countries however.
for "Top Tier" gasoline in Canada, way more Chevron gas stations in British Columbia (where Steve lives), far fewer in Alberta where I live. I typically fill up with Chevron Techron 94 whenever I get a chance. Lots of cleaning additives blended in and high octane.

When I am in Idaho I can fill up with ethanol-free gasoline available at many gas stations, also the local airport has the 'good stuff' and it is much less expensive than California gas prices.for "Top Tier" gasoline in Canada, way more Chevron gas stations in British Columbia (where Steve lives), far fewer in Alberta where I live.

I don't typically use any oil additives in anything. I do use fuel stabilizer in the fuel tanks of every gas engine, cars, motorcycles, snow blowers, lawn mowers, etc. This stuff seems as good as any and it is cheaper than most.
