Hi everyone.
Picked up a 6 year old 22HP (Briggs OHV) Huskee Tractor Supply Lawn Mower 46" cut. It seems to run pretty well (smooth and drives good). However I think I have found the reason I got it so cheap. After it warms up (5-10 min) it starts smoking white smoke by what appears to be the right cylinder area. While doing this is also makes a small kind of back fire type noise ; though its not to loud and only happens every 10-20 seconds. I went ahead and changed the oil and cleaned out the fuel systems and installed a new fuel filter. The mower was sitting up about a year (owner passed away and it set after that).
Seem like a headgasket; bad rings? Maybe something (carbon built up) broke off in the carb?
Thanks again.
