How should i run seafoam through the carbourators on a 2007 kawasaki ninja 250???

Question

i have a 2007 kawasaki ninja with many upgrades on it but it has lost power since i got and the vavles are properly adjusted. how would you suggest that i run seafoam in through the intake and do it safely enough to know i won't hydrolock the engine but still clean it very well???

Answer 1

carb cleaner comes to mind, that's like spraying gunk engine cleaner in your carbs, just not done, even if you took them off.

Answer 2

Seafoam is a miracle worker I've found especially in older SUVs it helps gas mileage and engine power. It's great because you can use it in the crankcase and in the tank. I had never had a negative reaction in any vehicle from using seafoam. I have an 07 GS500F suzuki I put a can in the tank about every 3-4K miles and it seems to make a noticeable difference. Another thing to keep in mind is your Air filter how well has it been serviced? Switching to a K&N filter will also improve performance. An important adjustment to check is the idle speed and make sure its correct. If you've rejetted the carbs experiment with the idle speed. I put a dynojet in mine and increasing the idle speed about 400rpms above the specs makes the bike pull harder in the higher rpm range (between 8K and the redline) My suggestion for the seafoam would be to just drop a can in the tank and if further carb cleaning is needed spray them out with some carb cleaner.

Answer 3

Get the spray can. They call it Deep Creep, but it's exactly the same stuff with some propellant (I read the MSDS). Follow the directions on the can.

Put a full can in about a half gallon of gas. Then run it around a couple of miles to get it into the carbs.  Park it.  let it soak over night.  Better? if not do it again, let it soak over night again. after 3 or 4 days of this it ought to be showing signs of improvement. Last of all change spark plugs. (You can actually run the engine entirely on Sea Foam, so I expect it will be safe.) Put in a full tank of fresh gasoline.

Or you can put a half a can into a full tank and run it as usual, when you refill the tank add the rest of the can. Sparkplug, if it seems to need it, fresh gas.  (If this stuff is truly cleaning crud out of carbs you may get junk on the electrodes of your plugs.)
