Sounds like you need a carb. clean. As you suspect, it is likely that the Seafoam has disturbed some dirt. Even though you have an inline filter, if the carb was dirty the Seafoam may have disturbed it.

Are you sure you have no gas leak? Check the air filter for signs of gas. Check your oil and see if it smells of gas. Unplug the drain tube that runs from the air filter box and see if there is anything in there.

More advice will follow from better qualified members soon. Good luck.
