Hi,
This is a long shot but here goes. I have a Honda self drive petrol lawn-mower. I was mowing the lawn yesterday and grass got clogged up. To clear it I put the lawn-mower on it's side for a couple of minutes. When I righted it again it would not start (you pull a cord to start it), it spluttered but then stopped. Also black smoke came out of the engine but I think, and hope, this is because oil/petrol leaked onto the engine and it's burning. I have no idea why it won't start and was wondering if some bright person might have some suggestions.
Cheers.
