That's the best I can do with the photos  tonight gang...I left it outside....I did the back yard, the one side, and almost all of the front...yes first time running it this season, but it ran great until I discarded the grass that last time while doing the front...then the white smoke happened...checked the oil and gas prior to starting, everything appeared to be ok...but the smoke kept coming out so I stopped...I covered it with a piece of old tarp from my boat...maybe tomorrow will be better...

If you're getting white smoke, I'm pretty sure that means you've elected a new pope.  TT^

 rofla Good one Bob

Did you tip it on the side?
Did you fill the gas after you discarded the grass?
I'm sure this mower does not have a cooling system  :headscra:

Are you sure you used the gas can for the mower and not the water bottle for the flowers or something?

blue smoke = burning oil
black smoke = too rich
white smoke = condensation

Drain the gas, make sure the oil is full and fill with fresh gas and go for it.

:P ;D Sooooo it was my fault; I had too much oil in it. I read the stick wrong, and thankfully we just had to pour it out, then he cleaned a couple of things, blew something out, and I was able to finish. Thanks for the help guys. I was lucky...this time.
