Last summer I bought a Lawnboy 2 stroke snowblower that the owner couldn’t start, for $10, I got it to fire with a shot of starting fluid and barely run on full choke. Added many times the recommended amount of Seafoam and shut it down after a minute so it could do its job. Net research said the carb was not a rebuild candidate, but a replacement was common. Since I had time, I waited on a carb and started it every week. After a month, it would run on half choke, by winter it ran fine. Its kept my driveway clear all winter. All of my power equipment gets Seafoam, and not one has had an issue, even using regular pump gas that likely has ethanol.
If you have too many, AND not enough, you're a collector.
