Q: Why is my lawn mower smoking?

• <div><p>Sometimes dark smoke trailing out of your lawn mower is the result of excess oil. It smokes as it burns off. Other times, it could signal a problem with the combustion or contaminated fuel. If changing the fuel and cleaning your mower doesn&rsquo;t help, call a professional (especially if the smoke is white).</p></div>

Q: What do you call the cord you pull to start a lawn mower?

• <div><p>The cord you pull to start a lawn mower is commonly called the &ldquo;starter cord&rdquo; or &ldquo;pull cord.&rdquo; This uses and internal combustion process to start the lawn mower engine and it prone to wear and tear over time. You&rsquo;ll want to check the starter cord as part of your regular <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-tune-lawn-mower.htm">lawn mower tune-up</a> process.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to lubricate my mower blades?

• <div><p>It's a good idea to lubricate your mower blades and mowing deck with something protective like WD40 that prevents rust and helps stop grass and dirt from sticking to the blades and deck.</p></div>

Q: Can you tip a lawn mower on its side?

• <div><p>Yes, you can tip a lawn mower on its side as long as you turn it with the carburetor side upwards. This prevents oil from leaking into the carburetor and reducing performance. You can also tip the mower backward as long as it's stable while you're working on the deck or blades for safety.</p></div>

Q: Why will the lawn mower string not pull?

• <div><p>There are a few reasons why a lawn mower cord won&rsquo;t pull, including an engine jam, a tangled cord, a broken recoil starter, or poor maintenance. To troubleshoot, turn the mower off. Then, inspect the cord, look for any tangles, and gently pull it to identify where the resistance starts. If you&rsquo;re not seeing any obstructions, you may need to call in a professional for repairs.</p></div>
