In the air intake or take the plugs out and spray the chambers.
Spraying the chambers sounds more effective.
Follow the directions. Spraying in the intakes ensures the reed valves are cleaned as well. I’ve heard of some folks pulling plugs and spraying in. If you do that make sure it is turned over withing out the plugs still out to remove the excess.
Personally I would only use it through the intake while running so as carbon is removed it passes out the exhaust rather than having chunks sitting in the cylinder when you go to start it up.

makes sense
I run the spray through my OX66 250 through the intake while running in a barrel, shut it off and wait ~ 15 min., repeat, fresh plugs after. </font id=“blue”>
There are some excellent tutorials on YouTube, about decarbing with Seafoam! They explain a specific fuel to Seafoam mixture, and a detailed process for decarbing. Try searching Seafoam decarb. Hope this helps!
I put 2 cans(Seafoam)in a 5 gal container w/ gas and oil. Disconnected my fuel line from the h2o/fuel filter and put in the container. I backed the bote down a friend of mines ramp. Leaving it on the trailer, I ran it at about 3000-3500 rpms for 15 min. Then I shut it off for 15 min. After that, I backed the bote off the trailer, and ran the remaining gas out of the can. Changed the plugs when I got home, and now my idle issues have ceased. I was advised by the same friend to do this once a year in the spring to keep everything “clean”. It seems to have worked for me this time.

The tutorials I’ve seen generally use a 2 gallon tank, and are done on the trailer, allowing for a “SOAK” period, then using the rest of the fuel.
