My Troy-Buit snowblower started right up after sitting in the shed all summer after I put sea foam and new gas in it. I ran it about 15 minutes and sparks started coming out of the exhaust pipe.

You may have a leaking exhaust valve if your machine looks like this on in the video.

SOURCE: stalls, with oil runing out the exhaust

you have a valve that is stuck in the open position head will need to be removed
then spray valves with wd40 and turn engine over a few times watching to see both valves open and closing,once that is working install head with new head gasket.this is caused by not properly storing the unit. gas should be drained at the end of every season and then ran to burn all gas off from carb and fuel lines once it quits remove sparkplug shoot a tablespoon worth of oil in the cylinder crank engine over for 10-15 seconds to distribute oil on cylinder walls and valves then re install plug now your unit is winterized ready for the next season

No. You just need to find a good honest exhaust shop to fix your exhaust.Some one put the flex pipe on the car, it did not come that way from Mitsu.
The sea foam will not hurt anything.Its good stuff. It was a coincedence the the exhaust noise showed up after you put in the foam.
I hope this helps you.

Sounds like you coil is over heating after running a few minutes. The windings are seperating, then when it sools they make contact again. Try replacing the coil.

did it run out of gas when you added gas it could be that the fuel line has plugged up with something from the bottom of the tank take the fuel line off and try blowing threw it and take a air hose and blow out the carb and carb cleaner

Honda generator EB3500 wont idle when put into auto idle, it will basicly want to stop
Carburetor is probably gummed up. Try running some "Sea Foam" in your gas, run it until the mix is in the carb and then shut it off and let it sit. I had to let a snowblower sit a week until it dissolved all the gum. If your using gas with Ethanol, this is a common problem. Try finding a station that sells gas without Ethanol or use Sea Foam to keep the Ethanol from breaking down. (It can break down in as little as 30 days).

2001 Polaris sportsman 500 will run great for a couple minutes then dies. I let it set for a minute and it fires back up. I have to continue to do this as I am riding and it is very frustrating.
Sounds like the float bowl in the carb is sticking, go get a can called "Sea Foam" from your local parts store add about half the can to a full tank of gas take it for a good ride it will clean out any gunk and deposits in the carb and make it run good again i had the exact problem you are talking about with my wife's Suzuki Eiger 400 i let it sit for 5 months and it caused the carb to get all gummed up i ran Sea Foam in the gas and it runs like brand new again after riding it for about 45 mins.

How come my troy snowblower stalls when I move the choke switch from choke to run ?
Most likely issue is dirty carburetor. Dissasemble and clean with carb cleaner or sea foam (let parts soak in it, if possible), reassemble. Could also be head gasket, but less likely.

I have a 1996 Ariens ST-24 snowblower that is hard starting. When it does start it runs just fine. The Tecumseh engine has a primer and I run synthetic oil, 5W30 Mobil 1 and use non-oxy gas with Sea
You could have a hole you cant see in the primer or line to the carb. They vibrate and rub. Make sure you DONT use eco gas. This will turn your gaskets to trash in one summer of not using it. Lastly dump out the old gas and start with new. Snow blowers are famous for condensation building in the tank. Hope I helped

My Motorcycle has been sitting for about a month. I just put new gas in. It ran perfect before it sat. Now when I try to start it it won't start. What do I need to do to get it started?
Try sea foam and add heat fuel treatment or something like it will freshen gas up and clean fuel system with sea foam but add that after started and watch how hot it gets might smoke a bit with carbon deposits kicking out and might need to cracked the throttle open to around 900 to 1200 rpm to keep it running as the sea foam works through but use the recommended amount no more then that

Check the fuel line to the tank, and see if another one is inside, maybe it fell off, or it's filter is clogged.

Sea Foam is NOT a gas Stabilizer. Your carburetor jet needs to be cleaned.
MAny Carbs are set up tis way, not sure about your CC snowblower. The jet in the Carb is gummed up. Take that 1/2" bolt off the bottom of the Bowl..That IS the Jet. Many times the Bowl will just hold in place with the Bolt out.. make sure the three holes are clear. 2 are close to the head of this bolt and you should have a 3rd real small hole where the threads end. Screw it back in...see what happens

Ran 1/2 gal bad gas truck started chugging check
Hi ! a easy way to possibly help this is to get a can of sea foam at the parts store and dump it in your tank it may help dissolve any goop that is in there and it helps renew bad gas ,also if this does not help remove your fuel filter and blow through it it may now have gotten a bit gumped up ,not a bad idea if you havnt done that for a few years anyway ,mostly the sea foam should help!
