    Does anyone have any input as to which fuel additves or cleaners work better than others for cleaning carbs or adding to your gas?

    I like seafoam, but not a replacement for actual cleaning.

    Third Seafoam. One thing it's pretty great for is winterizing, because it'll soak up water and crud that can get into your tank when it's getting cold/warm back and forth all the time.

    Seafoam is by far the best I've ever found - even worth the $12 a can we have to pay for it up here....

    For the people in The Netherlands (and the rest of Europe):

    the equivalent to Seafoam over here is called Forté

    The stuff is magic!

    Seafoam for motorcycles. Stay away from Berryman B-12. My take is that stuff is too harsh to run through the tank.

    If you can't find Sea Foam, swing by a boat dealer and get Outboard Motor Tune, it's a similar product. But since the active ingredient is "naptha", and the rest is "pale oil"why don't we save money and buy Coleman stove white gas or something that is mostly naptha, then just use say, 6 OZ per tankful occasionally? A gallon would save you about $100.
