What happens if water gets in your lawn mower gas tank?
Contamination of your mower's fuel system by water may cause severe performance problems. Long-term damage of the unit can include corrosion in the tank, carburetor, and fuel lines.
What does it mean when your lawnmower is blowing out white smoke?
White smoke indicates that the engine is burning oil. This is usually due to a spill or accidental overfilling of the crankcase. As soon as the trace oil that has reached the engine is burned off, the smoke should clear up and your mower will operate fine.
Why is there blue smoke coming from my lawn mower?
The mower blows out Blue or White smoke. This is a sign that the engine is burning excess oil. The excess oil in the engine causes incomplete combustion which will create smoke and a carbon buildup.
Can lawn mowers explode?
A lawn mower is likely to explode if it catches fire, or if there are unauthorized changes made to the fuel supply and the engine. When used normally, the chances of a lawn mower exploding are virtually negligible.
Why does my lawnmower start smoking?
Your lawn mower's carburetor regulates the ratio of gasoline to air mixture. If the carburetor isn't getting enough air, the mixture has a higher percentage of gasoline, which can create black exhaust smoke. It's possible that a dirty or clogged air filter is preventing sufficient airflow into the carburetor.
What happens if I put too much oil in my lawn mower?
Too much oil in your lawn mower may cause the engine to not run well and cause damaging results. Too much oil can cause your engine to overheat which can result in seal damage, blown gaskets or becoming hydrolocked.
Why is my lawnmower sputtering?
Clogged or Dirty Air Filters
Dirty air filters are one of the most common reasons lawn mowers sputter. Dirt can be present in the apertures that lead from the carburetor and the fuel filter and interrupt the flow of fuel supply to the combustion chamber. You want to be sure to clean or replace dirty air filters.
How often should you change oil in lawn mower?
Taking proper care of your lawn mower will help your machine run well for years to come. One overlooked aspect in lawn mower maintenance is how frequent oil changes should take place. Engine oil and oil filters should be replaced at least once every spring or summer, or every 50 hours of use - whichever comes first.
