Thumbs up

I use it in all my tractors and even add a half can to the oil in my 99 chevy suburban, keeps the lifters from sticking in those vor-tec engines.
in the 1811 it seems to run quieter.

The Startron is for the gas and the MMO for the engine. I'm probably wasting money with the MMO.

Default Sea foam

Todd
I use MMO startron and sea foam as well as high octane fuel.
I have never had a problem and they always start even on the coldest days.

SeaFoam is designed as a additive to oil to clean out small oil passages ,has a friction reducer that glazes metal surfaces slightly reducing drag regular use ( all the time ) tests have proven slightly less bearing& ring wear over time- 500 hours . GM top engine cleaner is the main active ingredient in all these GM top engine cleaner is the best/ strongest injector cleaner I have found usually the cheapest too. On the fuel side I would use a fuel cleaner, many available . lots cheaper than 8.99

yes used it a lot in car dealership mostly to free or clean up hydro lifters.
As a solvent it will thin your oil down

I prefer the Justice bros engine tune up with friction modifier, there demonstration is cool, but hard to find here

Had an issue when I 1st. Got my # 122. To lazy to rebuild carb & clean out the bowl. Ran a minimum amount of sea foam to clean it up a bit. Ran fine but then I found out about StarTron. Been running it in all my cubbies, & seem to run happier.

NIK,

I run SEAFOAM in all of my gasoline engines and my boat engine. I love the stuff and it even smells good coming out of the exhaust!!!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
