John Deere L120 Fuel in Oil Diagnosis and Repair

While mowing My John Deere L120 suddenly started heavily smoking out of the exhaust, thick white smoke. I found the oil level was well over the full mark on the dipstick and smelled like Gasoline. So here is the Video on the repair.

Had the same thing on my LT160. Had to put another fuel pump on it.

Hi Ted, I also have a JD L120 Does your mower run better with the shutoff before the fuel pump and the fuel filter after it? Reason I'm asking is the fuel line , as it's set up now , the hose before the filter looks like there is a piece of plastic or metal lodged in the line and she wont start up. I was thinking if I can cut off where it's plugged and then hook up a shut-off then put the filter where you have yours (or actually I could put it after the shut-off and before the fuel pump maybe? Also, what size shut-off would fit the line? Do you have a link to that shut-off from Amazon? Thanks and love your videos !!

The fuel line in mine is plugged with something before the fuel filter, is what I meant to say

Did it fix the problem? Is it confirmed that it was the faulty fuel pump? Thanks.

Yes that was the problem and the fuel pump fixed it.
