I was mowing at WOT with my 60" deck and OEM bagger engaged at full boogie...music mix on the iPod...ear protection on. About 3 minutes into my mow on flat terrain (at the time) with normal-length turf grass, there was a rather disturbing blow of black smoke out of the exhaust. It lasted 2 or 3 seconds...just sooty black smoke shooting out of the exhaust. It has never happened before, stopped as quickly as it started, and did not show up again during my ~45 minute mow on varied terrain.
There was no associated loss of power, dip in RPM, or symptom of any problem.
Just a bubble of something funky in the fuel? Prospect of a sticky injector?
Currently at 257 hours with the last full service at 185 hours.
Not too worried about it, but wanted to get a little info on it just in case it is indication of some future issue.
