2 cycle snow blower and seafoam

[Bill1234]

My question is, will this be a good idea. I have a snowblower from late 80s early 90s and Im thinking about seafoaming it. I know a 2 stroke is less efficient than 4 , but will I see noticeable increases on fuel economy and is it safe to do so.

You're better off using StaBil for storage.
Fuel economy on a snowblower? Really??
How do you even attempt to measure that?

[Bill1234]

I would just say its extremely low. its a late 80s snow blower

Maybe it needs new tires.

dont push it please, but probably does

Try a new spark plug first. I've never been a believer in sea foam.

How would you know it's really low, is there a measurement per inch of snowfall versus gas/oil mixture used standard?



Time to get a 2013 model that gets better fuel usage or better yet, buy electric.



Shovels work well too, no gas used.

Seriously, bill the thing is 30 years old, just get a new one. Not to mention you wont be needing it till maybe november of this year. Dont worry about it.

Stabil and tune up the fuel system. New spark plug (E3), new fuel filter. My dad did that a couple winters ago to the one he's had for prolly 15 years and the thing never ran better. Sometimes you can best those old two strokes. That one he had is a beast. Like mentioned before though, I'm not a believer in the sea foam either.
