What to do if my Ferris IS3000z engine starts hard or runs poorly?
If your Ferris Lawn Mower engine starts with difficulty or doesn't run smoothly, the fuel mixture might be too rich. Try cleaning the air filter and checking the choke adjustment (throttle control). Also, inspect the spark plug for fouling or incorrect gapping; clean, gap, or replace it as needed.
What to do if my Ferris IS3000z engine exhaust is black?
If the exhaust from your Ferris Lawn Mower engine is black, it's likely due to a dirty air filter. Replace the air filter. Also, check if the engine choke control is in the closed position and open it.
