X2^^^ I put a few ounces of Seafoam in my jerrycans . Premixed or Straight gas… Done no problems!

It might be cheaper and faster to just order a carb/fuel line kit off Amazon and replace it yourself. I have done this for a chainsaw and string trimmer, and it was pretty easy. The kits can be had for pretty cheap, if they sell the right one for your machine.

They can be hit and miss a few times I have received some bad ones, but you just send them back

On all my small engines, 2 stroke or 4, I run them out of gas so that there is no fuel in the lines or carb during long term storage. Turn the fuel valve off or empty the tank so there is just enough fuel to start them and let them just idle until they stall. Never have to worry about a gummed up carb doing this.

I do the same on some equipment but I still like to run seafoam through it.
On my generator I keep it full all the time add a bit of seafoam when I run it I just turn off the fuel and let it run dry.
I change the fuel every 2 years

I also do that with anything that has a fuel valve and is stored with fuel. Add Seafoam to the tank, run it for a couple minutes before turning the fuel valve off and let it stall out.

Thank you for all the replies. I am going to take it to a small engine repair shop in town and get it a running. After that i will make sure i put the fuel treatment in the fuel and only use the non ethanol fuel.
