It worked but the chemicals they use now days may do it better and quicker.

That method still works and write well, I think its mostly advertising and a fear of putting water in an engine that most cower away from.

One more thing. How did you put it in your mower? My rider could use a good cleaning

The brake booster cable. Goes from the driver's side intake manifold to the brake booster assembly (the big round black thing). Pull the hose off at the booster and pour in after reading the Seafoam instructions.

What kind of riding mower do you have? Basically take off the air filter and pour the Seafoam into the carburator.

It's a craftsman riding mower. I bought it used and the guy told me he used it to cut down some trees that were slightly larger than a quarter (the coin not the measurement) in size. It still runs pretty good tho.

So I just pour it into the carb huh? I will have to give that a try

Would it be bad to use on my truck if my plenum is blown?
