GRASSESHow to Rock a Lawn
Weekend Project: The key to healthy grass begins with the soil. If turf works for you, here’s how to fix it and keep it looking its best
Full StoryHello all,
My push mower is making a sputtering sound every 4-5 seconds. When it makes a sputtering sound it also puffs dark smoke. It still mows... but doesn't sound healthy. Also, I recently changed the oil and it was fine the first use. 2 weeks later it started acting up.
Details of mower:
Craftsman: Powered by Briggs & Stratton
550 Series
158cc
5.50ft-lbs gross torque per SAE J1940
Any ideas on what the problem is and/or how to fix it?
Thanks in advance,
Jake
