Model 12F702-0606-01 Code 9408095
Has been in storage for years. Fired it up and lots of smoke came out of the muffler. It ran for a short while then died. Looked below the muffler and there was a small pool of dark oil. Checked the oil and it looks very clean. After several tries got the unit to fire up again. Same thing happened, lots of white smoke, oil dripping out of muffler, after several minutes I just shut it down.
Someone suggested that the lawnmower may have been tipped. Not sure of that, I did not tip it. What can I do to try and clear out oil if it had been tipped?
If tipping was not the cause of this problem, what else could it be? What can I do to troubleshoot or resolve this problem?
Help please!
