Seafoam vs. Lucas Engine Complete Treatment

Im shocked.
I was told by everyone under the sun that Seafoam was the next best thing to buying a new engine. Ppl rave about it.
When I walked into Autozone last weekend, I asked for Seafoam and the service person directed me to it, but told me Lucas Engine Complete treatment is better and was on sale. What the heck...iI bought it.
I pulled my 72 CB750 out of the garage (to give my KZ750 and KZ650 a much needed rest), and poured the Lucas Engine Treatment into the TANK, not the crankcase.
All I can say is, MY GOD! This stuff is amazing. My bike PURS and the idle is much more steady.
Im have NO ties to Lucas at all, just passing on some good info. This stuff is amazing!!!

For winterizing, I also moved away from Stabil after using it for years. I came across Starbrite's Star Tron, and again, from my experiences, works better that Stabil.
If the Lucas brew, doesn't perform up to snuff, I'll run the rest through my car. For ten bucks or so, it's worth a shot.

I guess it has been a while. This is one of the very few topics that will bring out as much heated discussion as what brand of oil to use.

Dumped some Techron into the tank of my kids car since it has been sitting while (he's away at school) and it threw some OBDII codes. Not sure if it helped but the car runs nice now (after I replaced the O2 sensors). Can't hurt but don't expect it to "fix" anything.

I still had Seafoam on the shelf though, so I dumped some in the tank on my bike. Considering the crap I had to clean out of the carbs I figured the seafoam would be great to help flush out anything I missed.
Hmm... I wonder what happens if you pour Pine-Sol directly in the tank?

And the best tire debate,
And the best gasket debate LMAO
So Why not
I went from the worlds best product Stabil
To Seafoam
To Starbrite Star Tron.
Currently My friendly marine mechanic swears by Star tron and I Do believe it is a good product.
But will tomorrows new best of the best be ???????????
I just finished using my supply of seafoam , so star tron is my next purchase.
Or start using ethanol free gas at 5 bucks a gallon or more.

That's my strategy too. I've always marvelled at how I'm the only one that finds these additives haven't done anything in any vehicle I've ever tried them in.

Bikes I drain 100 percent when not in use ( Storage )
Short term I just keep fresh fuel in the bike
