You may have just come up with a better summary of the problem. Instead of applying the correct tools and procedures to understand and remedy the system, some owners of these classics just want the magic screw to diddle or gizmo to replace, or liquid to pour in. Kjet is magnitudes more fathomable than black box LH controllers with less tool investment than you'd make to keep a minor fleet of lawn mowers running.

If TB is the origin of the Sea Foam trend, maybe the complaints should be directed there. But part of the other saga is the combination of other repairs and adjustments with the Treatment, making it difficult to isolate the cause by deduction alone. So to answer your question, no, nothing appears to be conclusive, no gummed-up distributor has been cleaned, no clogged orifice cleared, just another score in the finger pointing contest, Sea Foam 2, 82 Volvos 0.
