no... for there to be white smoke there is water in your combustion chamber
if there was too much oil it would be black smoke
Black smoke is usually to much fuel and blueish white is oil.
So yes it is possible that it is oil in the combustion chamber.
Oil burning
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
white smoke comes out when you use wrong gAS, Like if itsays only UNLEADED and you put diesel,,then you will see white clouds.
It is need of a service.
to much oil in unit or it was tilted and oilleaked out of the case and the extra is being burned off
If it is a push mower there are only a couple things that will cause the mower to smoke. 1) The rings are worn and need replaced. This lets oil seep past the rings and burns the oil in the cylinder. This will cause a white smoke. (this is probably the most common cause for engines smoking) 2) The carburetor is putting too much gas in the engine. This will cause the engine to run rich and make a black smoke. 3) There is an external oil or gas leak that is leaking onto the motor and burning from the heat of the engine. If it is a riding mower there are many more things that could cause it to smoke.
One reason that a lawn mower may begin to smoke is that the oil chamber is too full. Spark plugs that have burnt oil and are not cleaned can create smoke and other exhaust issues.
its burning oil :(
Probably to much oil in the crank case. Otherwise mixture control on carb. is off
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
Bad piston rings, oil level is too high, check the oil level and adjust
Blue smoke coming from a lawn mower could be caused by burning oil, a clogged air filter, or a problem with the engine's piston rings.
