Welcome to TBN. 
Try taken less also slower traveling speed.
I've read that some spray chute area w/WD40,Pam food spray,silcon base.

A good coat of wax or a silicon lubricant helps and moving forward slowly at maximum rpms helps but wet snow packs easily and starts to clump before it reaches the chute.

Keeping the rpm up and slow speed ahead is about the best one can do.
It is the nature of the beast with wet snow. The snowblowers plug up too.
Just be sure it is off when unplugging...friend lost part of his hand unplugging his while running... :mur:

Try "PAM" cooking spray.

The key word is ,I have a single stage snow thrower. They are the worst design as far as snow blowers go. Really no good for anything over 3" to 5" lite snow. Sorry to say but if your in an area of high snow falls, but a duel stage blower.

Haven't found that true at all, but that may just be for most of our WI snows.

I had a 36" single stage on my Simplicity that actually worked pretty well. I used Pam on the chute and didn't have any clogging issues. I ran the machine at max rpm. I found the key not clogging was using the correct ground speed. If I went to slow it would clog, to fast the machine would bog down, then clog. Get the ground speed right and a single stage will throw just about anything. I had no problem moving 12" or more at a time. At least that was my experience.
With the wet snow I get here along the CT shoreline, I had the best luck going as fast as possible without overloading the machine. Keeping the auger fairly full and thereby keeping the snow really flowing out the chute worked best for me.

I agree on the land speed and keeping the auger full I found that out last year being my first year with the single stage. This year I have an even better solution I acquired another free cub cadet and then scored a free plow to boot !
