OK, I've heard plenty of good things about this stuff and I'm planning to treat my 96 VMax Xt to a dose of the stuff.
However, my sled has NEVER had this stuff in it before. I imagine there's plenty of crud that's going to get loosened up in that engine. So my question is twofold:
How long will it take to run the stuff through and clean things out? A tank of gas? Half a tank?
Besides fouled plugs, what other parts might get gummed up from the procedure? Will anything require removal and further cleaning?
I don't want to open up a can of worms mid-season. If this stuff is going to cause performance issues that require carb or engine disassembly I'll wait until Spring.
Any info? Opinions? Thanks.

i would think that everything would be fine if you used some seafoam in the gas. There isn't that much crud in the engine that it will be loosened up and flying around everywhere, little bits of it will be dissolved and leave with the exhaust. I have used that stuff in my boat a few times, seems to work decent.
