Hi all,
I didn't mention that a guy came over to me to complain about the smoke fromthe SPFC when I started mowing. He said it was drifting toward the child care centre next door. I told him it should clear once the motor gets going and burns up the oil in the crankcase. Just to keep him off my back I started mowing the opposite end and hoped it would indeed clear and noticed that it still smoked a bit at middling revs even after five minutes but seemed to clear at higher revs but didn't want the unnecessary noise and fuel consumption over the short sections of grass.
I am wondering if the popett valve is in the wrong position to be making this smelly exhaust or is it a generally worn engine? It went through the thicker kikiyu grass alright though.
Converse, it's good to hear your unit is running dependable but this one is proving a problem child at the moment. I'm glad I got to find out though this outing though. Some tinkering will follow.
Tyler, is yours better now you've cleaned the magnets?
