Seafoaming a 2 cycle gas snowblower?

[Bill1234]

Hello all, with the snow coming I have been using an older model toro 4.5 hp snow blower. I was using it and It is emitting white smoke out of the exhaust and is having a strong smell. Should I seafoam it and what should I do if I can ?

Check your spark plug and your oil/gas mix ratio or oil level. Could have bad gas or a gummed up carb or jet. I use carb cleaner and seafoam to maintain.

I use the spray seafoam on my blower, spray in and around carb let sit, take out spark plug and spray inside cylinder, let sit , clean spark plug and then start. It might be a ##### to start, but the last time I did this she ran like a top.

Oh and make sure it is cool and don't spray the exhaust.
