Black smoke emitted from a lawn mower engine is typically an indication that the gasoline to air ratio is too rich. ... Black smoke is also an indicator that oil has found its way into the cylinder, and the mower is trying to burn it along with the fuel.

  • If the mix is too rich, the mower will emit smoke. Fuel that sits too long in the tank or lines (such as during the off-season) can cause the engine to emit smoke, too.
