I just turned on my lawnmore and it was puffing out ALOT of white smoke and the blade would not turn at all, just barely, i could stop it with my hand. The lawnmore has a centrifical clutch for the blade to move. I also noticed that there was some black liquid coming out of it, no clue what is it or where it is coming from....


Someone help my blade move quicker, PLEASE !

Ok, if you are stopping a lawnmower blade with your hand, you're

As for what the probem is... well 1st of all, the white smoke is condensation or rain in the cylinder, since your lawnmower is likely NOT water-cooled. 2nd, the "black liquid" is oil there is a drain at the bottom of the engine, by where the blade is, change the oil in there. Use 10W30. Also change the spark plug and put fresh gasoline in there unless you used gas stabilizer.

mmm oil


Ok it is a 2 stroker. How do i get rid of the "rain". I just changed the plug not to long ago as well.


All of this will result in the motor not turning the blade (or tire )

ohhh... it's THE GOPED haha... yeah, you can give that to me too. I'll take chix on dates with it

I can't help you till you check the springs on the throttle, then clean and gap the plug, change the oil, and put fresh gas in. Then, if you still have a problem, talk to me. I've built many lawnmowers just cuz ours keep getting stolen all the time, so I had to buy shitty lawnmowers and rebuild them. Anyways... I even did an engine swap in one of them... HUGE engine on a small chassis LOL this thing rips. It's my favourite lawnmower yet.

Gallagher

springs on my throttle ? When I press the throttle, it revs up but then it sounds like it is going to stall. So you say I should change the gas and oil mix as well ?


Do you msn bbarbulo ? Any way I can get it ?

LOL I had a lawn mover with a swap at at one time.
It was light and that motor chewed up everything in its path.

hybrid lawn care once you go hybrid, you dont' go back!

Gallagher, not the gas/oil mix... just put fresh gas in the tank (cuz gas expires) and also change the oil cuz you say it's so black you couldn't tell it was oil

Gallagher

update, i cleaned the spark plug it was pretty oil(ie) but I will change the gas when i get home later. One thing I did notice though was that there was a black substance dripping out of the exhaust (WTF?) Then later on, I noticed a alot of gas/oil coming OUT of my intake and dripping onto the exhaust. The in and out line are not crossed, trust me.


Here is my thinking:


The cylinder head is not staying open long enough to get all the gas into it so it is spitting it into the intake filter and then dripping onto the exhaust. But that still does not explain why there is **** dripping out of my exhaust and its pure BLACK. And it is stuffing PUFFING white smoke like MAD out of the exhaust....

Gallagher

its a gas/oil mixture..... 2 stroke... not 4 stroke....

the black crud is condensation from the exhaust mixing with soot in the exhaust. it's normal after sitting for a long time.
