    Take this mower back to where you bought it as no mower that new should do this - black smoke and vibrate. Did you put in the proper lawnmower oil that came with the machine and not car oil? Regular gas works just fine in a mower. You don't want to put a higher octane gas in a mower though. Did you use fresh gasoline in the mower?
