umm did you search real well? if i remember right seafoam is not good for rotary motors unless this is a last ditch chance to get it to run right

your introducing a detergent into something that requires oil lubrication i don't think it can be good,

ummm...did *you* search real well?

seafoam is great. personally i just dumped it into a 1/4-1/8th full tank because that's the easiest (i didn't know which vacuum hose i could pull to have it fed via vacuum). it cleans off carbon build-up on the injectors, etc, etc, etc...it's just awesome

Direct injection is risky but the reward is well worth it. This along with water are the best ways to get rid of carbon buildup.

You can also run the risk of carbon freeing itself then locking up your motor. It can happen. Trust me.
