Title: Seafoam...?
Post by: connor on November 19, 2008, 10:01:02 PM
Hello All

Could any of you gents tell me what Seafoam is..?   Heard its name mentioned once or twice here on the forum.  I live abroad in Cyprus and have never heard of it...maybe its something peculiar to the USA..?

Regards to all...Connor.

That comes from a breather on the left side under the false air filter chrome cover. I made a new one out of UNI Green filter foam. Cut it thinner than the proper size to keep crude out of the carbs. Every 3 gen Magna is like this and should be replaced with something better if you want it back like it was.

I have Uni Foam if someone wants I can drop a piece in the mail to you, you will have to cut it to size yourself.

Oh yeah that helps a bunch if you take the left chrome cover off and look right by where the key is you will see a little box with a hose attached to it. This is a crankcase breather and there is some foam in there I bet if you were to look in there you would see the foam has disintigrated get some foam and i soaked mine in a little oil and replace the filter.

I noted that the foam was gone when I first purchased my bike.. I bought the part from Honda (Don't remember the cost, but it could have been tooooooo bad, because I don't rememeber!!!)
I should probably check it again (4 years later)
