Default Sea Foam removed too much carbon? Now oil fouling plugs!

I ran a few ounces of Sea Foam through my last tank of gas, and now - perhaps totally coincidentally - my bike is badly oil fouling the horizontal cylinder plug.

Is it possible/likely that the Sea Foam removed enough carbon to impact sealing of the rings/valves, causing the fouling?


Thanks - BrianK

No. Even if it did somehow do what you theorize, it only unmasked an existing problem.

Thanks Still SP3, I would think that's right; the coincidence just seemed remarkable!
