I was told to try a can of OMC engine Tuner to clean my idle jets.

Anybody ever used this or heard of it?

How'd it work?

Where can I get it?

I would try SeaFoam in your fuel tank. you can get it at most Auto Supplies and it is rated for outboards. DeepCreep is the spray version. I have used OMC carb Cleaner in the past. I have seen the Engine Tuner and have the mod to my oil injector to hook it up. Just haven't tried it. You'll have to get it at an authorized OMC dealor like Fore & Aft in Fort Worth. SeaFoam is about $5 a can and will probably do what you want.

I'd use sea foam if I had bad jets. I may be wrong but to use the engine tuner you would only have a chance to clean the throttle body. I don't know that the jets would get clean. Besides engine tuner is designed to break up carbon deposits on the rings.
I have about 1/3rd of a can that you can have but its over here in Grand Prairie. I have about the same of the Mercury Power Tune which is the same type cleaner.

Engine tuner is normally used to break up carbon deposits in the engine. You normally spray it into the front of your carb therby passing your jets up. Get some Yamaha carb cleaned mix it with 2 parts gasoline and fill your carbs with it then let sit for 6-8 hours. Drain carbs rehook up your fuel system and see if it works, if not time to pull the carbs and have them rebuilt...

If your idle jets are dirty, they have to come out of there to be cleaned.

Any product that will take the varnish left by old gasoline from a carb, will strip the lubricating oil right off the cylinder walls - don't want to run your engine like that. Seafoam, OMC tuner, etc. are safe to run through the motor but they won't clean the carbs.

You don't say what motor you have, but all the outboard carbs I've ever seen, only the hi-speed jets are in the bowl. Whatever you fill the carbs with, doesn't reach the idle circuit.

Better to do it right - pull the carbs, disassemble, soak overnight, blow out the passages with compressed air (or aerosol carb cleaner), reassemble with new kits, reinstall, link & sync, adjust mixture screws (if equipped).
