ok so my mower isnt what i had to pick from on choices, it's just a simple little 21" MTD push mower. i recently changed the oil and changed the blade on it. never once had an issue with the mower like im having now. ive got oil basically pouring out of the airfilter, i've got to prime it every single time, for instance, i turn the mower off ( release the gas bar) to light a cig, and ive gotta prime it 4-5 times to get it to start again. mower wasnt even turned off for more than 30s. not to mention when i turn the mower off, its still running while pushing out a lot of whitish blue smoke. sometimes its more white, somethings its blue. this issue has never happened prior to changing the oil. not for certain what to do or to even make of this. *side note* prior to changing the oil today, the oil had not been changed on the mower for nearly 3 yrs. i'm not the original owner
