I picked up a Simplicity rider a month back...starts on first/second rotation, no smoke, replaced a bearing on the cutting deck...put new plug, gas and oil filters, etc.
Yesterday, I went to actually cut some grass with it and when the engine got under load, a THICK cloud of blue smoke came out the exhaust pipe until I stopped the tractor. Checked oil, it was full. Ran it back up to the house and let it run with the mower engaged and without. No smoke.
Took it out again and the same thing happened. Rings shot? Valves shot? Only smokes, and smokes real bad, when the engine gets under load. It looks like I am fogging mosquitos. 15 HP Briggs with hydro trans
Thanks, Tim
