My brother has a F525 with 360 hours on it. He says it smokes when it runs but if he puts Marvel Mystery oil in the gas the smoking stops. What could be going on? He says the mower runs just fine.
F525 smoking
- Thread starter Jimmy Joe
- Start date
Mine smokes a little on first startup after sitting for a while (weeks) its a spare mower for me but serves a good purpose in narrow section of the yard.
It knocks a bit when its cold, I always figured it was a clearance issue or an oil overfill (its that 1/2 quart thing).

What engine is in the F525?
Gas, right?
If so, may need to do a ring and valve job.
