Default Instructions on using seafoam.

It's getting close to changing the oil in my bike and I've heard about seafoam a bunch of times and I've seen clips on the net about how it makes a smoke show, lol.

Well I was on seafoams website reading over the instuctions on how to use it. Now I know my basics of a bike engine but the things they described I'm not too sure on.


Here's seafoams instructions:
With engine warm, slowly pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint through carburetor or throttle body throat. (If vehicle is port injected slowly pour SEA FOAM through direct manifold vacuum line that will feed all cylinders, possible sources are P.C.V. valve or brake booster line.) This will pull SEA FOAM down on top of the pistons and to the back of the intake valves to dissolve carbon. Turn ignition off. Restart engine after 5 minutes. If severe carbon build up is apparent, use more Sea Foam as previously directed. Make sure exhaust is well ventilated when using Sea Foam in these various ways as fumes will be extreme for a short time.

Now here are my questions:

1) It says to pour through carb or throttle body throat. Where exactily do I pour it into the carb??? The only thing that is open that you can pour it into is the velocity stack on top of the carb (with tank off). Is that where they want me to pour it into?

2) Where is the throttle body throat located?

3) What do they mean by port injected? Fuel injected?

I have never used it on my bike as I have heard that running it may foul your plugs. The stuff works great on my car, but I juat had to change the plugs. I have always just added it to my gas tank when close to emty. I figure it will suck it up no matter what. I have also ran it in my oil within a few miles of changing the oil. The easiest way to find your throttle body is to take the tank and airbox off and twist your throttle. You will see the four doors (butterflies) open and close on your carbs..

I would scratch pouring it through your carb/tbt and actually put it in your gas tank. It will have the same effect. I use it in my boat, car and truck. I have also used it in my Dirtbikes. It works great. Dont waste your money on the other junk like Zmax whom is getting sued for alot of money for there false claims.
