Hello,
I am baffled at this point. I have a Craftsman LT1000 mower that I purchased recently for a rental property. The first mow went fine. I went back 2 weeks later and when I started it up it began to sputter. So I parked it and skipped the mow that week. I thought it was bad gas. So I drained the gas and put fresh in. This time it started and smoked like crazy. I decided to bring it back home and see what I could do with it.
At first I thought it might be pushing oil out of the exhaust...
