This is what happens when I start the mower from the last time I ran it...
Used to be..Would have to turn the basket on top of the engine to get it unstuck...loosen up. Then it would turn over..When it finally started to catch, it throws out black smoke, runs rough and then after about 20 seconds, it smooths out..runs great. Shut it off and it starts right up..runs smooth.
Now..throws out black smoke, runs rough and will not smooth out..Oil seeping out of the tube breather that goes from the carb to the air cleaner.
Oil stick shows good reading when engine runs like before...Now, Oil shows up and down the stick 3 or 4 inches...Does not line up between add and full marks...
I guess if its shot, I'd like to know what the problem is..valves? stuck choke?
thx..
