using Yamaha Ring Free in the motor with every tank full. What are the thoughts here from those that use or dont use this product ? Looks like its gonna run pretty close to 50 bux a quart for the stuff. Dont mind paying for it but just want to make sure that it is worth the price of if its just a "Snake Oil" type product being hyped for the Yamaha 2-stroke ?
Thanks

Larry that product is made by Yamaha......the Yamaha manual reccomends useing it. The smaller containers are about 15 bucks a bottle. I use it in my four strokes. It calls for one ounce for ten gallons of gas. It has to be mixed exact.....too much is not good. It helps keep carbon from building up and causing your rings to stick. If you do a lot of idling or very slow running you need it. I really think it is just for the four strokes. If you have a two stroke and you should be alright without it especially since you are not useing your outboard to troll with.
if this is what you are talking about its a very good product and works great for both 2 and 4 stroke motors !!!

Improved formula. Highly concentrated YamaLube Ring Free PLUS is a proven engine deposit cleaning package. When used as directed, this top-quality deposit-control sytem removes deposits from fuel injectors, carburetors, intake valves, intake ports, and combustion chambers. These harmful deposits, often the result of poor quality gasoline, may cause knocking/pinging, power loss, hesitation, shortened spark plug life, piston ring sticking, and even expensive engine damage. This special fomulation also helps protect electronic parts and fitting in the fuel system against the corrosive effects of sulfur compounds in ethanol (E10) fuels. May be used with Yamalube Fuel Stabalizer & Conditioner PLUS. Improves power and efficiency in two and four stroke engines. Use this product on a continuous basis to provide maximum protection against deposits. 1 oz Ring Free PLUS to every 10 gallons of fresh gasoline.
Thanks....I knew it was recommended for the four strokes because its in my operators manual......did not know about the two strokes.....thanks for the info.Quote:

I think its a 02 or 03, it came on package with G3
I have not run a drop of gas through my 90 4st without it. I mix it and marine stabil in every time I get gas. Maybe overkill, but that's ok. Not many hrs on my motor but no trouble yet either. I think it's a good investment.
YEP . DROVE TO THE BOAT PLACE UP AT AQUA-HARBOR TO GET MY LAST BOTTLE . MARINE STABIL AND RING FREE EVERY TANK .:twocents
Sounds alot like sea foam too.
If it truly is 15 bucs a quart I'd use something else. Maybe 50 bucs a gallon? Anyway, Star Tron is a great substitute and I notice it's sold right next to the Yamaha Ring Seal here at my Yamaha dealer. I was having to go just about every year for carburetor cleaning till I switched to Star Tron. First time I used it I noticed smother running and seem to feel more power out of my 50 horse two stroke. Using it for two years now. It's not cheap but it's not 50 bux a quart. More like 10 bux a pint but don't have to use much. An oz. for every 8 gallons as I recall.
