    Riding mower burns blue smoke and loses power
    Just recently my mower engine is emitting blue smoke from the muffler and seems to lose power as I drive it. I changed the oil filter and oil with no improvement. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Blue smoke in your mower usually means the piston ring are letting oil reach the combustion chamber. Do you know how to test the comression?

    You didn't over fill the oil by chance?
