Why is my Toro snowblower not throwing snow far?

Why is my snowblower losing power?
The spark plug ignites the air/fuel mixture in the engine of your snow blower. If your spark plug is worn, dirty, oily, or incorrectly gapped, the spark will be weak. This could lead to misfire or detonate, causing a loss of power. Detonation can cause severe internal engine damage as well.
