Seafoam Screwup...need help!

[Williega]

Team,
I put 1/2 a can of Seafoam in the vacuum hose that connects to the valve cover while the engine was running and that was great...a lot of smoke.

I then turned the engine off and put the other 1/2 of Seafoam and now the car won't start.

I now understand that I shouldn't have put it in while the engine was off, but how do I fix it now?

Thank you

If after you let it sit for a few hours if it still does not start, then I would change the plugs, you may have fouled them.

Thank you Joey...I'll try that

Joey,

Thank you for the advise. My mechanic removed the spark plugs, cranked the engine and the stored fluid sparked out from holes where the spark plugs were (you have to be careful not to let the fuel land on hot stuff and ignite your ride). He then dried the wet plugs, put them back in and got it started again.

I let it run for 10 minutes and drove off the rest of the white smoke.

Thank you again
