I use Sea Foam, added to the fuel. It seems to do the job and costs a lot
less than $150! I say it seems to do the job because I have never really
had a problem with dirty or clogged injectors. I know that sea foam does a
good job of cleaning clogged jets in carbs and it removes carbon deposits
form the head and valves pretty good. Those things I have has issues with
and you can see the results.
