D'oh!
I was cleaning some fox s
t off the bottom of the mower (
) and had to turn it upside down (yeah I know). I was blasting it with water but was careful not to wet the engine.
Anyway notice "fluid leakage" and realised I was being a spanner!
It starts fine but after about 30 secs starts smoking (white)
and smells of burning when I stop it.
So I'm guessing fluids are mixed. Could be water in the fuel I suppose but it looks OK. Took the plug out and poured some oil in it and turned it over a few times before putting it away (with the plug out).
So is it knackered now or will it be OK?

- This* is why I don't do my own servicing!
