Hi all,
Well my subject says it all. I bought a new Yard Machine 5.5 HP Single Stage snow thrower with a push button for eletric ignition. The Tecuimseh engine it employs is a two-cycle form that requires a fuel mix ratio of 50:1 (1 gallon of unleaded fuel for every 2.5 oz of the 2 cycle oil). I am pretty sure I have the mixture right (and I did this before I added it into the fuel tank). When I power on the thrower, the engine ROARS to life and belches a ton of smoke form its exhaust. The noise and smoke goes on for an unusually long period of time. Does this sound familiar to any of you? Any obvious problem or something to check for?
Thanks.
