My first MTD engine (that I know of). It's one a Craftsman 247.203724
Per customer: Smokes on start up. Sometimes a lot. Sometime barely any. Runs good for about 10 minutes then starts to lose power. Has to clean off the spark plug regularly.
When we unloaded it, it smoked like the dickens backing off the trailer. Then cleared up (not all the way) once it was level. (Note: Wasn't much of an incline) Smoked a little more once it was throttled up.
150lbs of compression. No smoke coming out of the oil filler tube (after the engine is turned off). But some coming out of the carb, after it's turned off.
Anyone have any idea's? I'm gonna clean the plug and mower with it for a little bit. Should have more details then.
