damn lawnmowers

I bought a new lawnmower today, didn't even finish mowing my lawn before it started blowing smoke and spitting oil out the side onto the exaust

Well, that's one side of the story.

What did you do to deserve it?

derf · 05-24-2009, 08:39 PM

damned if I know. I filled it with oil using the bottle that was in the box. The bottle and the instructions said that the bottle was the correct amount. As I'm mowing the lawn I noticed a small puff of smoke, then it went away fast, then all of a sudden boom it started to bellow smoke out and oil is dripping out the side of the block so I shut it off

plus ,y yard is only 225 x 25 ft, and I only cut 1/2 of that before the machine quit on me

Did you put the oil in the gas tank or the crank case?

Was it a 2 stroke? If so the oil goes in the gas before you pour the gas in the tank.

derf · 05-24-2009, 10:19 PM

it was a 4 stroke and yes I put the oil and gas where they belong.

Anyway went to walmart, with the reciept showing that I bought it at 5 and it was now 9, the mower was covered in oil and they exchanged it for a new one
