+1 to the Sarge.

Once I got the carbs clean enough to get my bike running, I ran three cycles of Seafoam through the gas tank.  It does help keep things clean. I haven't had to use it lately.  I'm not 100% positive, but I think it may discolor the spark plug insulator a bit (turned my plugs a shade of orange).  Might have been crud that worked through the system.  I've read where octane boosters tend to do that.

But I agree: Seafoam is magical stuff. Look for it at auto parts stores.  Typical price is about $10 US for a 16 ounce can.
