Yea, Yea...the typical anwser is burning oil....But this has happend only twice in maybe 25 hrs of mowing (since i've owned it)with a hustler super-z 28hp kohler efi. The first time was when the mower had set for a week or so. Then it happend this last sat. just once, after i took my first break from mowing. I stopped 3-4 times during the day while mowing around 7+ acres in 100 degree heat.This kohler has 1155 hours on it & it does not loose oil...ie never needs oil. It smoked for only 5-10 sec then cleared up. It also never smokes while mowing. One thing to add ...while i took my first break, i parked the mower on a incline nose down...maybe some oil seeped into the low side the cylinder head??? It didn't do it any more after that(but then i was parked on level ground then) I have a old dixion w/a L-head 12hp briggs that does this evey time i winch up the front to clean the deck,...but then this motor is Very tired & smokes alot at start up anyway....
