It's worked for me on dozens of engines over the years.

I don't dispute that - I am just telling you what happened to me - not you - as a warning that it can happen.

Just a note on that solution - it can coat the spark plugs and they stop firing - BTDTGTTS.

I’m not a fan of Seafoam either. The cloud of white smoke after hibernation is awful, and my fuel economy on that tank is rather pitiful.
I always found it best to fill up with premium fuel before storing and a dose of injector cleaner.
We’re veering off topic….back to our regular scheduled program, of the best oil to use, or was it tires?

There are numerous carb. cleaners on the shelf at the auto parts store. Seafoam is a favorite, and has been reported to glaze over spark plug if used too concentrated. B12 by Berryman is another and the list goes on and on. Unless it starts easily and runs great, I would run 3-4 tanks with cleaner.

Main power plug?

I believe he is referring to starter relay. A "red wire bypass" is done if the red wire has started to melt the connector.
