SOURCE: lawnmower is spewing white smoke

white smoke means that there is water in the fuel air mixture during combustion. a bluish white smoke means oil is being burned during combustion. take another look and make sure which one it is. since all mowers ive seen are air cooled the only way water can be getting in the fuel air mixture is through the gas cap. check your gas tank and gas can for water. may be best to empty both and start over with fresh fuel

SOURCE: Riding lawnmower wont run long

Check for dirt in gas tank some times stuff will fall in when filling and block the hole in bottom of gas tank and wont let gas flow clean everything out and see if it works. Also check that all kill switches are tight and not moving.

Check battery cable for correct hook up. Red positive to starter and black to ground. If battery connected backward starter rotates in opposite direction and can burn up starter. If correct battery hook up check plastice gear on starter for wear.

Probably a fuel delivery issue. There is a brass bolt that holds the bowl to the carburetor on. It has an exterior washer, so don't lose. This bolt also is the main jet for the carburetor and can become clogged especially if old gas is allowed to evaporate in mower and no in-line fuel filter is used. Drain the fuel tank (or it will drain when you remove the bowl!). The bolt has very small holes on bottom and sides. Make sure they are clean and clear and the bolt is nice and cleaned up. Use no metal, and/or scraping on bolt. Reassemble (don't forget the carb body gasket) and engine should run if no other issues.

How do i fix my lawnmower

what mower is it and what engine is on it. I would hazzard a guess that if it will start then die over and over then you have a dirty carb that will need removing,stripping and cleaning

Toro personal pace mower will not stay started?

If ir starts and runs for only a few seconds it's a dirty carb/bad gas. Drain the fuel system and use FRESH gas; change out your fuel supply monthly to avoid "phase separation" issues. If it runs for several minutes and then dies it is possibly a sticking valve. Do a compression check cold and after it stalls to confirm. Hope this helps

Have a Briggs and Stratten 4.0hp Lawnmower that starts but sputters. What can I do to get it running smooth...What is the Spark Plug GAP?

How old is the fuel? Drain old fuel, use premium fuel and change spark plug and maybe air filter. I start mine in the Spring using quickstart. It also starts and dies a few times and eventually keep running. Winterizing the machine in the Fall prevents most starting problems in the Spring. If this does not solve the problem, see a mechanic.
