Mend Engine Lawn Smoke

Black Smoke?

My mower blows out black smoke, and runs like it is missing. What can I check to eliminate my problem.

You don't say what type of engine is ftted, but it sounds like it's running rich.

If it's a Briggs & Stratton with the carb on the tank, change the diaphragm.

If the engine (whatever manufacturer) has a choke butterfly, make sure it's not sticking closed.

Clean (or replace) the air filter.
