black smoke /low power
Any suggestions for what is causing loss of power and black smoke when mowing grass on a bx2200. We are not talking high grass. The grass is probably 4 inches tall and dry and I am cutting at about 3 inches. Any suggestions at what to look at would be appreciated. (Air/fuel Filters have been changed.)

Re: black smoke /low power
Cruddy fuel?, Something living in the gas tank (algae), Something living in the air tube to the air filter?,Brake stuck on?, injector hosed up? That is a few things to check.

Re: black smoke /low power
Black smoke usually indicates too much fuel or not enough air. Have you checked you air filter?

Re: black smoke /low power
Or...check the mower for binding...black smoke can also indicate the engine's working hard.
