Ok, I have not been good to my mower. I have a Craftsman 670 series which doesn't get used much.
I noticed some smoke and black sludge coming from the oil tank so I bought some 10-30 motor oil for lawn mowers and other small engines. I hadn't put any oil in since buying it and it was bone dry.
After putting in about a quart and firing up the lawn mower, there was a huge amount of smoke coming out of the mower. I turned it off and tried again and the same result.
I am not sure what to do. Did I really screw things up?
