16 January 2008 - 20:08I tilted my lawn mower on the side to clean it, and a bunch of oil came through the air intake. How do I fix?

dniemi3 asked:

The lawn mower started back up and blew a ton of white smoke. Now it sputters REAL bad and barely runs. It’s getting worse and worse. How do I fix it?

    The spark plug out crank it over few times to clear the oil will go back to clear the crankcase and let it over night that way the plug out crank it set over night that way the oil will go.

    You will need to remove all the gas from the mower because more than likely your gas and oil have now mixed. You need to take the (sponge) that covers the carburator out and run some water and soap through it and let it dry. Also your carburator itself may need to be cleaned because oil and gas and other junk may have clogged in there. Good luck.
