[QUOTE="AVSA Andrew, post: 1142038, member: 396"] It used to smoke a lot until I took over monitoring the oil levels, now the smoking has stopped. It is definitely dry 'soot' on the plug. But I'm under the impression that these running specs are set, so if it's running rich, there's nothing I can do about it, surely? Also, I might well have been given bad advice, but Ryobi says it recommends 4-stroke oil for the mower, yet no-one this side of JHB seems to stock it. Most people say they've never heard of it, so I was sold some other type of oil I was told was the closest match - 15W-40? [/QUOTE]
