You probably know that if you are injured in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident or are a victim of some other type of negligence, you can sue. However, there’s more involved. For a West Chester personal injury attorney to win your case, you have to show that your injuries were caused by the negligence and that someone else is at fault and liable.

Lawn Tool Repair questions, answered by experts

Engine failure, clogged carburetors, dull blades, and electrical issues are common problems requiring service.

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’t help, call a professional (especially if the smoke is white).

Lawnmowers require seasonal maintenance to continue working correctly. With routine maintenance, you can extend its life to the fullest, which is around 10 years for push mowers and 5-8 years for riding mowers. To keep your lawn mower working correctly, you’ll want to take the following steps at least once a year:

Replace the spark plug
Change the oil
Drain the fuel tank
Clean the mowing deck (ideally, after every mow)
Replace the air filter
Check the carburetor
Sharpen the blades
Fog the engine
Check the tires

Before your lawn mower quits working entirely, it’ll likely give you some signs of wear and tear that indicate a repair is needed. Signs that you might need repairs to your lawn mower include:

Oil leaks
Vibrating engine
Smoking exhaust
Increase in time to mow
Unusual noises
Increase in gas consumption

Regular oil changes, blade sharpening, fuel system cleaning, and air filter replacements help extend mower lifespan.
