Ok guys here's some old timey stuff for ya. Before they were J. C. Whitney they were Warshawsky and Co. on State Street in Chicago I used to go there all the time. Now I have to drive half way across Illinois to go to J. C. Whitney. :mad2: Ice cold water into a hot engine to remove carbon from combustion chambers has been around since the dawn of time. If you mix a little Bon-Ami scouring powder with the water and dump it down the carb it will help seat new chrome piston rings.

Denny is absolutely right about the water and the Bon-Ami. Old School knowledge! :thumbsup:

Ah yes old school, like when cars actually had carbs.
Yup, and you had to pump the throttle to set the choke and squirt a little extra fuel in the engine from the accelerator pump to get them to start when they were cold.:cheers2: It took me awhile to stop doing that to fuel injected units :lolgoku:

Yes About that seafoam. Available at these fine retailers.
http://seafoamsales.com/where-to-buy/
Actually One thing not mentioned is it is also advertised as a fuel stabilizer. You know for you guys that don't live in beautiful Southern California. and have to winterize your stuff as you hibernate through a long winter!
