Me too. I spray deep creep right into my carb on my Honda 4 stroke dirt bike every year. I haven't had to break the carb down for cleaning once in almost 10 years!

Is this the breather line that is referenced for option #2 in Especial86's response? it is on the passenger side of the air intake on top of the throttle body.

Thanks a ton all!

Yes. It goes into the left side of the throttle body's air intake housing..

Edit: that is it in the pic. Pull the line off and spray down into the TB. Then shut the truck off if it doesn't stall and let it sit..

I checked out the video that especial86 listed and it was extremely helpful. For completeness, I snapped a picture of the power brake booster vacuum line from my truck; I believe this is the hose for option #1, in Especial86's writeup.

This information has been "extremely" helpful to me..... Thanks!

Update us on how the seafoam goes! I'm going to wait on doing it until I am ready to change my oil, so I can be complete. Option one seems easier, I wouldn't wanna screw up my MAF.

I was going to do this yesterday but had a question. On the brake booster hose are you putting the seafoam through the short piece connected to the T fitting? I ask this because I see the bottom hose goes to the back side of the motor.

Thanks for any info.

Yes disconnect the bottom hose from the T and that's where you pour it in or let it suck in. The hose that runs to the back of the motor. When you start the truck with it disconnected it will be obvious which way it goes. It will but sucking!!!

I assume the lower hose on the T is just a friction fit hose and pulls right off with minimal force. Let me know if that is incorrect. thanks all!

I might have to try this out. I have never used seafoam and have always been a little skeptical about it.
