Why is my lawn mower shooting smoke out the side?
By admin | January 7, 2008
WeedInUrLawn asked:
after i bought some oil (i made sure it’s the right kind), i put it in my lawn mower. I started my mower and it started to shoot smoke out the side a little bit so i stopped and realized i put in too much oil. I then tipped my mower over and took out a large portion of the oil. I started it up again and it still smoked out the side but eventually it stopped after a couple of seconds(30ish). I then proceeded mowing and after a while it stopped so i checked the oil and there wasn’t enough oil. I put in some more oil and then when i started it up again it started to shoot the smoke out the side again. What’s goign on?

The recommended amount of 30w motor oil to fill the smoking problems.
The engine try starting all over remove the oil refill using the smoking problems.
