Hi All,
I'll try to make this short.
My mower started with some sort of ticking/clattering sound. It got a little loud at one point then settled down a bit. All of a sudden lots of lt.blue/white smoke started coming from what looked like the front of the motor near the valve cover. I noticed lots of old oil around the valve cover due to loose bolts (I think). Anyway, I did a valve adjustment and put everything back together and started her up and it sounded real good. In fact it sounded better than it did for a long time. I started cutting grass and after 5 minutes the engine revved up as if I full throttled the machine. I tried to Idle it down but got no resopnse from the throttle control. Throttle control is working properly, always had and I never touched it. It was like it was posessed or something. The only way I could stop it was turn the key off. Can anyone help me with this problem?
