ATF Fluid
Just wondering what the best brand ATF and how much to throw in my gas tank to lube and clean my injectors?

Lucas Injector cleaner, upper cylinder lube is the way to go. buy it in the qt or gal for best value. They rip you off on the one dose bottle.

What about just regular old ATF. I think now everyone calls it Dexron or some fancy name. Should I stay away from synthetic?

Ash-less two stroke oil is another option. I run the Redline Watercraft two stroke oil with a little 85 plus added. But if you go with an ATF synthetic is fine.

Seafoam is great stuff, I put either seafoam or a bottle of ATF in the fuel bowl when I swap filters and run some in the tank every once in a while. Doesn't really matter what kind of ATF you put in the fuel though...
2 stroke oil is good too. ATF doesn't really lubricate it more, just cleans it. 2 stroke oil lubricates it.
