Thanks Gadge, I figured as much, the oil he is using now is the old oil he pulls out of motorcycles he has serviced, figured why waste good oil in it now. I tried the Wynns stop smoke but that was totally useless. Biggest problem is he has to mow with the wind behind him otherwise he can't breathe
Gadge, this is where things can go right over the top if you are not careful. The previous owner spent over $1100 on it (he gave me the receipts $750 parts $400 labour) and I won it for $180 (about what it was worth with a smokey motor) I put another $300 worth of parts in it to get it up to a good mechanical condition,and I didn't paint it or touch the motor. Very easy to throw a lot of money at these things
