Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Didn’t know there were so many. Which one do you use.

Noel

I always get the one in the first picture. Never seen the other ones before

Bunch of them at Princess Auto.

Noel

I use the one in the first/top picture too.

That first one might be the original formulation, whatever that may mean. There's a version that comes in a spray can, same formula as the first picture, and I got that for many years for spraying into the air manifold whenever I got a used car. It's a way to decarb the head without pulling it off. Lots of examples on youtube (big smoke) on that crazy procedure

I seen that can there to Eugen.
We use to do that with transmission fluid. Warm up the car engine. Hold throttle open a bit to keep it reved up a bit while pouring in transmission fluid. Then idle it down and stall the engine by just adding a little more transmission fluid. Lots of smoke. Then let it sit. After awhile start it up and drive it like you stole it out the highway. At night if you did it , you could see sparks out the tailpipe from the carbon burning off.

I have always used the one in the first pic.

yeah, I've done that a few times first thing after getting a used car, but with seafoam.

Transmission fluid cheaper.

Yes that work back in the days before Catalytic converters and O2 sensors. But that will cause damage to newer vehicles systems . But you can get away with it with the old flat heads .

Dave

Well I worked in a service station pumping gas at 11 or 12 years old. And when I was a little older, doing oil changes and such. Then helping with mechanic work until I was 19. So learning from an older mechanic, I did stuff right or wrong. Most things I still remember. So this was long before converters and sensors. And I never kept up on it. Got in to propane work. Ya that’s another long story

Any way, this was a long time ago. And I don’t remember very well now. Sorry for the long post.
Hehe. Just ignore me if I ramble on to much.

Noel

Noel, this is a ramble friendly place! We all do!

for what it worth, I use the first, but I buy it by the gallon. I have seen the other at farmandfleet , but never uses.

any one else use the other, what are your opinion.

I haven't ventured, I just go with the original.
I never really dug into the variations to see what the difference is and if it seemed like it would make a difference for the situation or if it is just a marketing thing to get you to buy more.

I’ve used the first can myself, also the seafoam deep creep penetrating fluid. I buy it a Wallmart. Harry
