When I crank my lawnmower it blows black smoker but only when it cranks, after that its fine. Is there anything wrong with it. Its new so I though maybe it just needs to be broke in, only been used once. Thank you for your help.

Hmm…
As long as it doesn’t smoke while running, it may just be burning off excess fuel that was left in the engine from the last time it was shut off. That would explain the black puff.

No its not normal… (unless you have it on choke) then its normal…
If it runs fine (you can rev it up and down with no black smoke) and it doesn’t go through gas like mad… its fine..
Black is a rich condition,… not oil.. oil is white/blue.
