tarantula here and is your mower smoking
like that well if it is there's two
reasons it's doing it one of them is you
just recently changed the oil in it and
you put way too much oil in it
the second one is
the needle and seat in the carburetor is
sticking open
and that gasoline is going into the
crank case and it's raising the oil
level and that'll make it smoke too
so what you need to do is check that oil
and make sure it's not overfilled
because what it's doing is it's way over
filled and it's pushing that oil out the
muffin and that's what's making it smoke
so you need to pull the dipstick out
check it smell it
so that way if there's gasoline in it
you know you got an uh
a sticky needle and seat
and you need to address that problem
if you way over filled it you need to
get that oil down and get it down at a
proper level
these push mowers hold about 18 ounces
of oil 18 to 20 ounces that's less than
a quart
so that's what you need to do right
there is the full mark
you don't want to go past that
now don't worry you didn't ruin the lawn
mower if you over filled it with oil
eventually it would pump all that oil
out of the crankcase until it got to its
level and it would stop smoking but you
know it makes a mess and it's gonna also
it's gonna pump a bunch of oil into your
air filter so you're gonna have to
change your air filter too that's
another thing you need to look at your
air filter because you probably ruined
it with all that oil now if you got the
leaky needle and seat and you got gas in
there that's bad
you don't want to run the mower with the
gas in there
because of what it's going to do is it's
going to wear the rings out and then
that thing is going to be smoking
a dark smoke which means that it's using
oil and that's bad
the white smoke is just the oil is
trying to burn it and get it out of
there
so those are the two things you need to
look for if your mower is puffing a lot
of white smoke whether it's a push mower
or a riding mower the same principles
