Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome. Since you are seeing smoke, it is usually a sign for rich gas and air mix. This could be caused by a choke that is slightly closed, a defective carburetor, or the carb may just need adjusted. You need to make sure the choke is completely open though. I would suggest cleaning the carb and adjusting it if necessary. Refer to your manual for the correct procedure. Check around your cylinder, head, and the shroud of the mower. Make sure the cylinder has nothing on it to cause smoking. See if cleaning the carb helps the performance. You may need to change the plug wires, if you didn't the first time. You could have a bad plug wire. Sometimes you get bad plugs but it is very rare to do so.
Anytime my friend. It is possible. There could be a loose connection in the plug and at the time it was changed, it had a good connection. Just another possibility. Not likely, but a possible cause.
For now, clean the carb and see how it performs then. I would say the smoke may continue though. Not 100% sure, but likely. Like I said, the smoke is usually from rich fuel.
You sure can. Just write back to me and I will answer as soon as I can. I will be checking back and forth until 2 p.m. tomorrow. At that time, I go to work. Between 2-9, I will be out and not back until 9:30, just in case you come back on during that time. I will keep any eye out for your next post.
Just came by to check on you.

Thanks. Will have the carb and choke checked out...question: If the plug wires were bad, would it have run smoothly after plugs were changed? Appreciate it.
Thanks Ricky...I'll have this checked out. Can I get back to you if this doesn't solve the problem?
Hi,
i've been having some trouble with my email, so didn't get your last post. I have someone coming Monday to check the lawnmower out who really knows how to work on these things, so I'll let you know what happens.. Thanks so much.
