Why is the engine exhaust black on my Simplicity Cobalt?
Black exhaust from your Simplicity Lawn Mower engine usually indicates that the engine is getting too much fuel. This could be due to a dirty air filter, so replace it. Another cause could be that the engine choke control is in the CLOSED position; if so, open the choke control.
What to do if my Simplicity Cobalt Lawn Mower engine starts hard or runs poorly?
If your Simplicity Lawn Mower engine starts hard or runs poorly, it could be due to a fuel mixture that is too rich. Try cleaning the air filter and checking the choke adjustment. Another cause could be faulty, fouled, or incorrectly gapped spark plugs. Clean, gap, or replace them as needed.
How to fix a Simplicity Cobalt Lawn Mower when the drive belt slips?
If the unit drive belt on your Simplicity Lawn Mower is slipping, clean the pulleys or belt if they are greasy or oily. If the tension is too loose, adjust the spring tension. Replace the belt if it is stretched or worn.
How to fix streaking with Simplicity Cobalt?
If your Simplicity Lawn Mower is leaving streaks, several factors could be the cause. Your blades might not be sharp enough, so sharpen them. They could also be worn down too far, in which case you should replace them. Ensure you are mowing at full throttle and not going too fast. A deck plugged with grass can also cause streaking, so clean it out. Finally, make sure you are overlapping your cutting rows sufficiently, especially when turning, as your effective cutting width decreases.
