Had this since Oct 2010, maybe ran it 15 times max. Do not have a big yard, so mower isn't working that hard. Smoke has always come out of the exhaust pipe in the front, but today it was pouring out. Ran it two weeks ago, and it ran fine. But today there was smoke, and the engine was also making a strange noise.
Checked oil, figured maybe too much, drained some out. Mower ran another 5 minutes, then smoke pouring out again. I note that oil seems to be spraying out of the exhaust pipe. Also looks like gasoline is dripping from the casing!
Like I said, this mower hasn't done much, and I haven't even yet changed the spark plug or filter, as per the manual I haven't run the mower enough times yet. So, long story short, any ideas what the problem might be? Do I need to drain out all of the oil, change out the plug, etc? I don't think it could be a filter issue, etc, as why would oil be shooting out of the exhaust? Thanks.
