Q. if i cant get my mower to start, can i ride it down a hill with the clutch depressed, then release? will that start it?
Answer
I'm not aware of any riding mowers that have a clutch (like a car). But if by some small chance that you do have a clutch, yes provided the problem is in your starting system and not your fuel or ignition system. Generally though, the transmission gearing is so high that damage to the drive train could occur, you could take a tumble over the mower or the wheels will skid and not turn the engine over.

Lawn mower emitting huge clouds of white smoke?
Q. So yesterday I was trying to mow up the hills on my lawn
( I have a hilly lawn)
and the lawn mower would all of a sudden start dying on my almost as if it was being choked by long grass
( there wasn't any long grass to choke it)
and emitting huge white clouds of smoke from the muffler I believe
(I'm not sure if it is the muffler, its the thing on the side of the mower by the primer with the holes in it)
The lawn mower sat outside all winter last season with the same oil in it.
The lawn mower seems to mow just fine on level ground, its just when it is going up hill with the engine drive that it will start dying and emitting the smoke.
I have a full tank of gas.

Most 4-cycle engines are designed to function on up to a 11 to 14 percent grade. If your lawn is very hilly, your probably trying to run the mower at too steep an incline and oil is getting forced into the cylinder.
Perhaps you should get a 2 cycle mower, like a lawn boy. 2 cycle engines can operate at any angle, even upside down, without harm, or decrease in function.
