Here this is the process i used. http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=186885 pineapplesoymilk 02-17-2010, 06:32 AM thanks Bigbacon 02-17-2010, 07:19 AM does seafoam come withthe rubber tube or did you just happen to have something? What 2 stroke would one suggest that you can buy at autozone or AAP? I dont normmaly premix but I don't like the idea of cranking dry. Huey52 02-17-2010, 07:49 AM ^ rather get a case of Idemitsu 2-cycle premix. At 4 - 8 oz per tankful it will last you a long time. Seafoam is very good (a long heritage in marine engine use), but so is Lucas and most of the other decarbing solutions. pineapplesoymilk 02-17-2010, 06:45 PM should you do it before you change oil plugs and wires or after? tonedef 02-18-2010, 02:07 AM should you do it before you change oil plugs and wires or after? I did this on my car before changing anything else. It helped a lot! It wasn't the only thing wrong with my car but it helped. I say start with the least expensive and work your way up. My car was having big idling problems to the point that it stalled once at a light. Asking around people told me to replace the plugs, coils, wires, etc. also to change the engine mounts. So this process was the least expensive of all and I went ahead and did it. You see even if I bought the plugs, coils and wires my engine will still be filled with crud (probably fouling my new plugs in the process). So I did this first. And it work (to a certain extent) no more rough idles at lights. I still replaced my coils later on with a BHR Kit (awesome by the way). Bottom line this is a process you will not regret and your engine will love you for it! pineapplesoymilk 02-18-2010, 03:53 PM thanks man for the info |
