    Question:
    Just bought a riding mower and it is flooding, should I return it or contact Husqvarna?

    Was mowing for maybe one hour, took a short break, then tried to start and it was blowing white smoke out exhaust. I opened the air filter and there was alot of gas that emptied out. Seems to be a slight carb adjustment, not sure...........help

    James,

    Thanks for contacting Husqvarna to post your questions.

    There are a number of reasons that you could be having this issue, that being the case I would recommend that you contact a dealer near you using the link provided below. That being said, there is a likelihood, depending on the model of engine on this unit that this is FAR easier to remedy than that, as a matter of fact, there might not be anything to remedy at all, and you simply may need to alter your shut off procedure to avoid this issue. If you tractor is equipped with a Command series Kohler engine be sure that you shut the mower off while the throttle is in the wide open, full throttle position.

      I am having the same problem.  My gas tank is expanding and the pressure, I believe, is causing the gas to be forced through the gas line.  I even it flood all the way to my muffler and that is not a good place for gas to go.
