How long did you let it sit before you started it back up again?

this is what i do and i know this works very very well from past experience.

2 can of seafoam in the tank with 4-6 gallons of fuel to mix, run till almost empty

then take 1 can and in 1/3 increments suck it up via the pcv valve or brake booster and let it the first sit for 15 mins, 2nd for 30 mins and the last of it leave in there all night.. burn it out when you drive to work in the am..


change the oil after all of this too. most fuel cleaners leave residue and lots of additive mess in the oil so change it a day or so after you do this.
