The Best Reason to Buy Seafoam?
Рет қаралды 6,438
Жыл бұрынCheck it Out!
Today we'll be doing a "Down & Dirty" carb clean on a Champion 75555i Generator, and we'll be using a special tool to get the job done!
Whether you're using Carb cleaner or rust inhibitor, sometimes the red plastic tube/straw that comes with the can just isn't long enough to reach the area you need it to reach!
Today I'll be showing you another use for the long plastic straw that comes with the Seafoam kit, and we'll be using it to clean the main jet, and emulsion tube on this carburetor!

You can ask the old man, we probably remove and ultrasonic clean at least 95% of the carburetors that come into the shop for repairs. The remaining 5% get the main and pilot jets flushed out and they usually start 1st pull, and run smooth as you saw here in the video. It's not ideal, but it gets the job done quick when customers don't want to spend a fortune. And I don't offer any guarantees on these jobs either, because without pulling the carb apart, you can't see what may still be in there. The best thing to do is to keep running fresh fuel through them, and keep them running!

If any small engine is going to sit not used for any length of time, you should have 2 oz. of Seafoam in the gas. Then you won't have these kinds of problems. It will keep you carb and fuel system clean and is a good fuel stabilizer.
@fierodough Жыл бұрын
if you want a real quick and dirty (and very effective in an emergency). start the engine with carb cleaner. (often works best when sprayed right in the plug hole). once the engine starts, quickly snuff the carburetor with the palm of your hand (making an air tight seal). This will create an intense vacuum and force fuel through the jets and unclog them. It's also a good way to remove water accumulated in the carb bowl. Now THAT is quick and dirty.

Thanks have used that method on a few machines but it really does not stop the issue of ethanol and debris in the carb bowl.

The issue with dropping the bowl when a carb is vertical like this, is sometimes it's difficult to reseat a new (or the original) bowl gasket. Usually why I would prefer this method, or else I'll just take it off and ultrasonic clean jt. Thanks for watching!

@Eliminator Performance valid point Jake, but only had that issue once and a wee bit of silicone grease held the gasket in place so I wouldn't crimp it with the bowl... also you could always turn the item on its side for a second ha ha , us old men think we know it all, cause we're all married and have to think on our feet.

I'm kinda disappointed you didn't use SeaFoam the traditional way. Sprayed into the air intake, then heat soaking for an hour. I get that the idea was to get the motor up and running, cheap and easy. But if the client is charged for the shop materials (1 can of SeaFoam spray), then wouldn't it be a greater benefit for the generator, to use more of the product during the final stages of the repair? Part of the winter storage prep for my lawn mower and riding mower, is to give it a few squirts of carb cleaner.
@EliminatorPerformance Жыл бұрын
I used like 1/8th of a can here, not much at all to be honest. I just wanted to use it to blast out the main jet, not so much to get the carbon out of the engine. Thanks for watching!
@waynestefinashen239 Жыл бұрын
Robert we were not try to remove carbon deposits from the engine which is traditionally what you do with Seafoam it was using it along with carb cleaner to remove s piece of debris or ethanol gum from the main jet. Jake did an excellent video of storage but the best is run it out of fuel add some alkylate ethanol free canned fuel that lasts two years run it again then fog the cylinder or pull the plug and spray the cylinder with small engine storage spray wnen the piston is at the bottom of the stroke

@jerryschneider145 Жыл бұрын
Tell that customer you will not work on it. I fix that by taking the carb off (I know it is a pain in the butt) and soaking it in my ultrasonic cleaner filled with carb cleaner, and sometimes that does not work.
@waynestefinashen239 Жыл бұрын
Generator runs fine now (tested 4 times cold starts 1st pull on choke and no surging off choke) after Jake did this trick and not only did it save us a lot of aggravation it saved the customer money. Like you said sometimes even ultrasonic cleaning does not solve the issue and we did not want to get involved with the hassle of removing this carb to clean it and then maybe have to remove it again. Rest assured this job not only cleaned out the main jet but also cleared all the debris from the carb bowl and with our fresh 91 Octane no ethanol fuel and k100S+ stabilizer the customer will not have any issues.

I can tell it was painful for you to do the down and dirty carb clean. I agree with you that a proper cleaning is way better, but also understand the customer’s desire to save money. Is it possible to snake a little wire down the emulsion tube/jet from inside the carb throat to clear any blockage?
@EliminatorPerformance Жыл бұрын
Yes I bet you could do that, but blasting some type of cleaner at least it'll soften up the debris. At least it runs and the customer saved some money. But yes, a full carb removal, disassembly and cleaning with rebuild kit is always the best.

@waynestefinashen239 Жыл бұрын
If you ever tried that and got lucky enough not to drop the carb bowl gasket where you had to get it back on without twisting it you would know why we did it this way. That method you describe is only perfect if you know you will not lose or need to replace the bowl gasket which is always an uncertainty. If it works out ok it is great but if it does not work out it can be a disaster and take up more time than removing the entire carb. The method Jake showed in the video is an alternative that works using a SeaFoam straw, basically the point of the video. And as they said in that tv show NOW YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY. We appreciate the comment and thought but that is the reason we do not do it that way.
