Hi all,
my neighbour just left the Wesco for me to top the oil up for him. He says it's blowing blue smoke a lot of the time and in the three months or so since I put new oil in, the dip stick read about 3/4 full (1/4 consumed).
When I tested it, it shoots a plume of blue smoke before clearing for a few moments but the smoke starts slowly returning until it's blowing constantly and filling the yard with a blue haze.
I shut it down and let it rest for a while but it did the same thing when I test mowed with it.
Could it be the valves need adjusting or has damage occurred as a result of the very low oil level it had when I first changed the oil three months ago?


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
