Craig's List find in Atlanta..

It's smokes a lot more than my 580540..
Is their anything I should look at to fix this or is it normal?
Only negatives are a bad back wheel and both tiny hub caps for back wheels are missing..


The new to me the 10515 was "One Benjamin" :smile: :smile: :smile:







The whole 10515 was double what I have into a used 10515 deck I'm refurbishing and planning on putting my 680560 motor and other parts onto..

680540 I bought new in 92'-93'



The 10515 it smokes more than my lightly used 680540
Help about smoking issue would be appreciated..


Thanks Y'all for the friendship and comradely,
RB

Nice find!! I'm no expert on F type engines, but my 8481AE has a metal carburetor with a mixture needle. My Lawnboy mechanics handbook (for F engines) say excessive smoking is due to improper carb adjustment, air filter clogged, improper float/float valve operation or incorrect carb float setting.

Note; initial setting for the altitude needle is 1/2 turn counterclockwise from seat.

It also wouldn't hurt to try fresh gas. The mower may have been sitting for many months.

And let it warm up fully. A little smoking when the engine's cold is normal.
