A buddy and i mixed 2 oz of sea foam with about 6 oz of mixed gas and it made a decent amount of smoke. This was pretty badass but we still wanted more. So i pose the question: Does anyone know of some other additive out there that will produce smoke without hurting the engine?

I wouldn't constantly use seafoam in any engine. Especially not a 2-stroke. It will wear the bearings out.

According to the directions on the can you add 2 oz per gallon with a 2 cycle. I added 1 oz to my last tank of gas figuring that the tank is actually slightly larger than 1/2 gallon. It smoked a little more than usual at first, but now I'm not noticing any extra smoke and I'm about 1/2 way through the tank. And no I wouldn't run seafoam constantly, it's not meant to be used all the time. When this tank is done I will have a look through the park plug hole and see if the top of my piston looks any cleaner. I'm kind of skeptical myself, but I have heard from a number of reliable people that this stuff works, so we'll see.

Anyone that asks shy wouldn't really understand. Its just cool, im not gonna be riding with this all the time but every once in a while its just BA.

I might try that ATF idea though i doubt i can buy that in small amounts.

You actually can get it in small amounts because ATF is also used in power steering, and some brake systems. So you can get small bottles for power steering top up. <-- ask me why I know about that ...

in these tiny engines, i bet you could pull the dipstick out of your car's transmission, drip a few drops into your fuel line, and go spyhunter smokescreen your whole neighborhood.

in my car, all it took was a small capful straight into the carb, and it created a cloud you couldn't even see through for about a half mile.

good luck. and i'm glad you don't live on my street...

i dunno. ATF is pretty harmless. i know it cleans out the oil system, though. i used to run a quart in my honda civic autocrosser the day before i'd change the oil.

but look at it this way. if he fires out a giant smoke screen and then blows up his motor, he can lay down an oil slick, too...

listen boys, after seeing this thing run through about a 1 to 1 ratio of seafoam and gas, i think it could handel a few drops of this stuff.

BTW, chrisme, how do you know that?

How about smoke oil from the R/C world?

My brother actually had a buddy analyze that stuff in a lab because he didn't want to pay the price (Used to be big into 1/4 scale and then recently giant scale pattern flying), and all it ended up being was roughly 45% diesel, 45% Dextron II and 10% smoke machine fluid.

Thing of it is the RC smoke is pumped into the exhaust via a spray bar into some stainless steel screen not through the engine.

Hmmmmm.....this gives me an idea! laff
