What does it mean when smoke comes out of your carburetor?
Black smoke coming from the exhaust is an indicator that the engine is running excessively rich, or using too much fuel. A carburetor that is delivering excessive fuel to the point of producing black smoke, is not only burning unnecessary fuel, but also producing unnecessarily excessive emissions.
What does it mean when your car cranks but won’t start?

What does puff of smoke from top of engine look like?
The big puff of smoke from the top of the engine sounds concerning. It sounds like it’s coming from the inlet side around the injector area? Does it look like oily smoke (black or blue), steam (white) or fuel vapour? Smell might also help here, but be caseful in case it is hot!

Why does the oil get stuck in the CARB?
DIAGNOSIS: sometimes the needle in the carb can get stuck open..if its a gravity fed fuel system the carb, especially when engine not running, is letting gas drain through the crankcase breather tube which will add gas to your oil, overfilling it. Wich will pump the oil into your carb when you try to start it.
Why did my Craftsman push mower blow smoke?
Also, smoke was a one-time deal (blew smoke, lost power, & died). Haven’t tried starter fluid yet. Also, this is a push mower with no choke. You hit something and it caused the keyway on the crankshaft to bend ever so slightly, causing it to jump timing.
