I have used Seafoam for over 20 years in all my small engines and I can't say if it helps or not. It surely hasn't hurt! I usually only use it when I run the last tank for storage. For any small carbureted engine, fuel quality is important. I have not had to overhaul a carburetor in 10 years! Was it the Seafoam? probably not. But I only use only Non-Oxygenated gasoline in all my small engines. Ethanol is evil for small engines. It only has a shelf life of about a month. As for octane rating, I would use 87 octane in all my small engines if there was no ethanol in it. Unfortunately, I have to purchase 91-92 octane fuel to stay away from ethanol. For my chain saws and weed whips, I actually us 100LL aviation fuel because it lasts forever!
As for my CB, I run Non-Oxygenated gas when I can, but I don't worry if I have to use 87. I just make sure my last tank has Non-Oxygenated gas in it and a little SeaFoam. It just makes me feel good, and thats all that matters!
