my mower intermitling smokes a white smoke and fouls the plug over time. is the rings stuck?? will marvel mystery oil in the gas and oil eventually free up the rings??? thanks ,porbet @ aol.com
its probably burning oil, if the smoke is white. if the smoke is black, it means its running rich. if the smoke is white, you have serious internal engine problems
blue smoke is oil. white smoke is water. black smoke is unburnt fuel
to much of it can stop our system
if it is white smoke engine need to rebuilt.
White smoke is usually vaporized coolant. You may have a blown gasket or a crack somewhere.
the engine is burning oil. blue smoke oil white smoke antifreeze black smoke excess fuel
White smoke indicates you are burning engine coolant. You may have a bad head gasket or a cracked head or both. Do not run the engine until it has been repaired.
I am assuming that the mower doesn't start.... My first guess would be that you are not getting spark to ignite the gas in the engine. Check to see if you have spark at the spark plug.
The cause of white puffing smoke in a diesel is the crack pipe ventilator seal. Fix that it keeps the crack inside.
WHITE SMOKE is engine coolant / antifreeze burning. That is due to a head gasket leaking on the 5.7L 350 engine.
White smoke coming out of a vehicle means you need to either get your oil changed or the oil you have is too small of a weight. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If your engine is warmed up and blowing white smoke , it sounds like engine coolant is getting into an engine cylinder from a bad head gasket , or a warped or cracked head
The most common is the head gasket. BUTDepending on the engine there can be several other causes.
