"My husband just asked your opinion, if you have one, on using Sea Foam motor treatment? "

Sorry, don't know what that is...no opinion.

SeaFoam IIRC is a motor treatment to clean out the carb, etc. You add it to the gas. I heard it is pretty good stuff as a “tune up” for small engines, etc. Maybe something like once a year, or before you put it away for the season run it with gas treated with SeaFoam.

But the Stabil is the stuff you want to put in the gas for storage. And I just had my lawnmower repaired from not putting it away properly a few winters ago and the gas gunked up the carb. (Lacquer). The neighborhood small-engine repair guy said what he does before he puts his stuff away is put some stabil in the tank and run it for awhile, then put it away. I imagine if the carb has a drain spigot to drain the carb of fuel - but I guess with the Stabil in it you might not need to. (I’ll have to ask him)
