Pull air filter see if theres any oil in it,make sure the oil isnt overfilled. Push mowers usually smoke like that if theyre overfilled,or tipped on thier side,if there is oil in filter simply take filter off,drain oil to correct level,and run it till smoke goes away. If none of this is the problem rings are probably shot. Weedeater is a cheap brand and theyre made cheap too,not made to last.

If there is a dip stick add some oil check the level till you get to the full mark. It should take a little more than a quart. If there is no dip stick then there is an oil fill plug down low on the engine. Fill slowly until the oil reaches the threads in the engine housing (almost overflowing). Be sure to replace the plug or you will have oil everywhere when you start it.

Don't just dump the oil in, check the level as you go!

Hi stnstomper...

Look under the mower for a square plug or allen wrench type plug, this will be your oil drain for the motor.
Some of Briggs & Stratton motors do not have an oil drain plug...
If you do not have an oil drain plug then you will have to run the mower to get it warm, then remove the oil fill plug and tip the mower towards the oil fill plug to drain out the oil thru the fill plug hole.

The diagram of how to replace the throttle cable on a Stihl 55 weed eater
I'm sorry, but I can't provide a visual diagram as I can't display images or diagrams. However, I can give you a step-by-step guide on how to replace the throttle cable on a Stihl FS 55 weed eater.
Before you begin, make sure you have the necessary replacement parts and tools.
Materials and Tools:
  • Replacement throttle cable
  • Screwdriver
  • Pliers
  • Allen wrench
  • Socket set
Procedure:
  1. Safety First:
    • Ensure the weed eater is turned off, and the spark plug is disconnected to prevent accidental starts.
  2. Remove the Air Filter Cover:
    • Locate the air filter cover on the weed eater's engine and remove it. Typically, this involves loosening screws or clips.
  3. Access the Throttle Cable:
    • With the air filter cover removed, you should be able to see the carburetor and the throttle cable attached to it.
  4. Disconnect the Throttle Cable:
    • Carefully disconnect the throttle cable from the carburetor. This might involve loosening a screw or bolt holding it in place. Note how it is routed and attached.
  5. Remove the Handle Housing:
    • Locate the throttle trigger on the handle housing and remove it. This may involve unscrewing parts of the housing or loosening screws to access the cable.
  6. Replace the Throttle Cable:
    • Feed the new throttle cable through the handle housing and reattach it to the throttle trigger. Make sure it's properly connected.
  7. Reconnect at the Carburetor:
    • Reattach the other end of the throttle cable to the carburetor in the same manner it was originally connected.
  8. Adjust the Cable Tension:
    • Adjust the cable tension to ensure it operates smoothly. There should be some slack when the trigger is released but no excessive play.
  9. Reassemble the Weed Eater:
    • Reattach the air filter cover, making sure it's secure.
  10. Connect the Spark Plug:
    • Reconnect the spark plug and ensure it's properly seated.
  11. Test the Throttle:
    • With all the components reassembled, test the throttle to ensure it's working correctly.
  12. Start the Weed Eater:
    • Reconnect the spark plug and start the weed eater. Verify that the throttle is responsive and functions as expected.
This is a general guideline for replacing the throttle cable on a Stihl FS 55 weed eater. Keep in mind that specific models may have variations in their design and components, so refer to the user manual or consult with a professional if you encounter any difficulties during the replacement process.

There is a tension adjustment on the body.. flip your mower over and you can see it better.. do not over-tighten it though because it needs slack to let the 1-2-3 to change on the fly.

Poulan Weed Eater runs in surges, with or without air filter on will not run smooth. Mower engine (B&S 4 HP) is "FIXED SPEED" 20" type. Engine started easy, it will run in pulsating surges.
