If your White Outdoor Lawn Mower engine is smoking, it could be due to the engine oil being overfilled. Check the oil level and correct if necessary. Another cause could be the engine losing crankcase vacuum, which might be due to a dipstick not being seated or being broken, or a damaged engine breather. Replace any damaged parts.
What to do if my White Outdoor LT 165 engine will not crank?
If your White Outdoor Lawn Mower engine won't crank, there are several potential causes. First, ensure that the safety switch buttons are fully depressed. Check that the battery is correctly installed, with the negative terminal connected to the black ground wire and the positive terminal to the red wire leading to the solenoid. A dead or weak battery can also prevent cranking, so ensure it is fully charged. Also, a blown fuse or circuit breaker can be the culprit, so replace the fuse with an automotive type fuse after checking for loose connections. Finally, a loose engine ground wire can cause this issue; the engine should have a black ground wire running from the engine to the frame or mounting bolt.
Why does my White Outdoor LT 165 Lawn Mower engine crank but not start?
If your White Outdoor Lawn Mower engine cranks but doesn't start, several factors could be at play. First, make sure the throttle or choke is in the correct starting position. Next, check if there's fuel reaching the carburetor; the gasoline tank may be empty, or the fuel line or in-line fuel filter could be plugged. Clean the fuel line and replace the filter if needed. A disconnected or faulty spark plug can also prevent starting; ensure the spark plug lead is connected and test the spark plug by grounding it against the engine block while cranking to see if it fires. If it doesn't, replace it.
What to do if my White Outdoor Lawn Mower has excessive vibration?
If your White Outdoor Lawn Mower is vibrating excessively, stop the engine immediately. Check all pulleys, blade adapters, keys, and bolts for tightness and spindle damage. Tighten or replace any damaged parts. A bent or damaged blade can also cause vibration, so replace the blade immediately, using only original equipment blades.
How to fix a White Outdoor LT 165 Lawn Mower that won't discharge grass or leaves uncut strips?
If your White Outdoor Lawn Mower isn't discharging grass properly or leaves uncut strips, ensure the engine is running at full throttle. Also, try using a slower ground speed, as a slower speed improves the quality of the cut. Check that the cutting height isn't set too low, and raise the deck if needed. Finally, inspect the blades; if they are short or dull, sharpen or replace them, particularly for the uncut strip issue.
