G'day everyone,
Hi Mowerfreak I know mine emits a bit of smoke mainly on first cold start up, then it's usually not that bad once it gets up and running. I think it smokes a bit more when it's just ticking over at a slow idle than what it does when it's up and revving during mowing. You could have an old tired engine maybe, I did have my engine rebuilt back around 2008 or something.
Hi Tyler, yes I also think on my carby there is no letter markings on the poppet valve it's just a plain black valve. Sorry to hear about the flat battery on your car mate. The last time that happened to me was once I forgot to turn the parker lights off after a drive. Tried to start the car the next day and the car wouldn't turn over at all. Ever since that happened I make sure I check all lights are off before I leave the vehicle. I even look at the lights as I walk around the car to make sure they are all off...lol
Cheers!
