If it was smoking from the muffler/exhaust, it is likely a combination of oils used to produce the blower components burning off and the oil in the fuel mixture. If this describes what you see, it should gradually lessen as the engine heats up and "cooks off" the oils in the muffler. Also, the oil:gas ratio of the fuel mix will tend to smoke more with richer oil:gas ratios (more oil in the gas), and more so when the engine and muffler have not reached full operating temperature.If it was smoking from the muffler/exhaust, it is likely a combination of oils used to produce the blower components burning off and the oil in the fuel mixture.

A mouse or leaves from a nearby tree have gotten into the AC/Heater blower motor and they are touching the blower motor speed control resistor, this is very hot and makes them smolder and smoke and smell. You will need to remove the blower motor from the housing that it is in and clean out what ever is in there.
There is either something overheating inside the blower, likethe brushes or loose wiring or loss of insulation on the wiring.
Smoking can only mean one thing, and that is...unless you are a licensed electrician or know somebody who is, the best thing is to scrap it and get a new one.
blue smoke is the sign of burnin oil try putting oil in thr cylinder about two tablespoons of oil the blower should run long enough to the oil is burned out that will tell it is the rings but sometimes it will free the rings and keep on running if your lucky
Hi, normally when an electric motor smells of burning the damage is done, if it's new you need to get it fixed under warranty, trying to repair it yourself will void warranty
If an electric motor is smoking, most likely it is in the process of burning out the windings in the motor. This usually starts from using an extension cord that has too small a wire or a cord that is too long. when you do thid you are forcing the motor to pull more amps than it should to make up for the voltage loss in the cord. The fuel for the electric motor is a term called watts. Watts equals volts times amps. If the voltage drops then more amps are needed to feed the motor enough watts. This caused the motor to over heat and this melts or breaks down the insulation on the windings. When this happens the motor starts to short out and once this happens then you can not save the motor.
Electric lawn equipment should be used with #14 or #12 (never use #16 or #18 gauge ) guage extension cords and should not be used with cords longer than 50 feet. Also you should not run the equipment more than 10 minutes with out a 30 minute rest.
Black and Decker has issued a recall notice for Type 1 BV4000 because "a loose connection between the unit and an extension cord can create heat, posing a possible fire hazard" Says to STOP USING and call 1-866-853-2138 to arrange for free repair.
