"Stabilize Fuels" is printed right on a can of Seafoam,, as is "Cleans Carb Jets and Injectors", "De-Ice" is also listed on there...
We have one poster says sea foam is for cleaning.....one says it's a fuel stabilizer and cleaner.

Need to look at Kohler's FAQs question #7...
https://power.kohler.com/na-en/engines/faqs
It deals with fuel cleaners.

Can I use additives in my engine?
We do not recommend using additives or cleaners in the oil or fuel system. Air-cooled engines operate at higher temperatures than liquid-cooled automotive engines, and additives developed for automotive use may not perform properly at higher temperatures.
In addition, oil additives can prematurely break down, altering the properties of the oil and leading to extensive internal damage or failure. Fuel system cleaning additives have a tendency to separate and turn acidic, causing damage to fuel system components. We do, however, recommend a fuel stabilizer during periods of non-use (one month or more) to retard fuel deterioration.
sea foam is a cleaner.
Products like sea foam are destroying your carbs.


There several posters on this site and sites like this one who claim to use sea foam all the time. Had one poster a few years ago who had a 129 that didn't use oil before sea foam and started to use oil 6 months after using sea foam.

It's your engine.......your choice to use this kind of junk.
