I have used Sea Foam in my carbed 50 Merc for years without fogging oil, and she fires up first tick of the key every Spring. I suppose if I was storing for a couple years, I'd fog her up, but my ride only is off the water for 4.5 months, and Sea Foam will take care of her for quite a bit longer than that.
I also owned one of those engines, and like the Suzi 70 quite a lot. Nice engine.
Steve, I am with you on this, as the motor will start just fine, however, a small loss of compression each season is more likely as the cyl walls are scored, which more readily occurs in motors that sit for a even short length of time unprotected. Starting is not the issue, but in general, what I have seen is a loss in compression, thus overall performance of untreated motors. |
