Best Answer

More than likely, there is a stuck pulley that the belt is trying to spin. The black smoke is caused by friction between the belt and the pulley, heating up the belt. Check the pulley(s) for obstructions (weeds, rags, long grass stems, rope, string, dried leaves, etc) that prevent the pulley from spinning properly

How do you check transmission fluid in huskee riding lawnmower?

There is a "cup" underneath the battery compartment, only accessible from underneath. Unscrew the cap, may need channel locks, and remove black rubber flange if it did not come out with the cap. Removing the battery reveals a hole in the battery compartment that is above and offset from this "cup". Snake a hose through this hole and into the cup. Use a funnel on the hose to fill with tranny fluid. Put cloths on the ground for this will be messy. Insert the black rubber flange and cap.

Where is the spark plug on a craftsman riding lawnmower?

The answer will depend on what engine is in the mower. If it is a single cylinder more than likely it will be in the front of the engine. If it is a twin cylinder the plugs wille on the sides of the engine. Either way look for a thick black wire going to it about the thickness of a pencil. It will be what that wire goes to on the lower end of the wire.

Why is black smoke coming from underneath riding lawnmower?

The three things that could cause black smoke which come to mind are: 1) You have a belt or pulley problem which is causing the belt to slip and burn. 2) You have an oil leak that is getting on to the exhaust and burning. 3) The mower is running rich. Which means it is getting too much gas. The most common of these is choice 1. Oil leaks don't normally get onto the exhaust since most exhausts aren't under the engine. The running rich problem also does not normally come from under the mower. It would typically come from the exhaust unless it has an exhaust leak.
