i asked to borrow my neighbours lawnmower since ours wasnt working and he told me his tank was empty.

but i accidentally put half oil and half gas in lawnmower and started it. it was working but there was smoke coming out (more than usual).
what should I do?
also, how and where should i drain it if i need to?

What is wrong with my lawnmower? It starts fine, runs about 5 minutes and then just shuts off?

The oil is ok and it has gas. The spark plug is ok. I don’t know what else to check. Any suggestions. It is a craftsman walk behind mower. This is the first time I’ve had problems with it.

Oops I’ve accidentally put gas in my oil tank of lawnmower - what can I do?

separate oil & gas tank - it ran for a few minutes then quit. I realized my error and drained the oil tank. If I allow it to dry out will it work properly?

i have a craftsman push lawnmower. i was tightening the wheels and put it on a steep angle?

a small amount of oil leaked from the muffler. i mowed for a couple of hours with some black smoke and sputtering of the engine. when i brought it out the next weak it would not keep running. i changed the spark plug and after about 1 hr same problem. i took out the spark plug and it was as black as the old one.
you do not mix oil with the gas. runs on straight gas.

What specific things need to be done? Plugs? Blade replacement? Change oil & gas? I’d like to do this myself.

My son put in an oil/gas mixture into our lawnmower. I use the mixture for my weed eater. Will this ruin the lawnmower? They just put in the mixture yesterday and mowed the grass. When I asked him to mow a section of grass today and he said the lawnmower won’t stay ‘on’. He starts it, but when he tries to engage the blade, it turns off. What should I do?
