I have owned a WH C175 since 1981. I have used it every year to cut 2-3 acre lawn. It has original deck and bearings but has wore out 5 sets of blades.
Motor is M18 or a KT17 Kohler that has never needed anything but points/condenser and carb rebuild.
Now the problem. [b:f867fa3c29]Sometimes[/b:f867fa3c29] the motor will smoke really bad after startup but not smoke during the 4 or so hours cutting. Would have to add about a pint of oil after each cutting.
Next time I use it, there is no smoke at all. This has be going on for about three years, so I was preparing to rebuild the motor.
Now, It hasn't smoked at all for the last four cuttings and oil is full.
I have always used Chevron Dello 400 30#
I have professionally rebuilt hundred of engines, from small 2 stroke to large diesel and I have never seen an engine do this.
