There does not appear to be any smoke during the running of the car. Some smoke at startup when cold due to the choke open is normal for any small engine.

I have a kohler k532 that smokes when you first start it it is no smoke after a minute or so it starts smoking is there a pcv valve on this motor or. When first started the engine puts out a lot of oil smoke.
Gradually clears up in one minute. Engine does make some noise but it sounds more like metal shroud or plastic piece vibrating. Oil is fresh and level does not drop so its not burning a lot of oil.
Before this smoking started the mower had a bent shaft caused by hitting a low stump. When you notice any kind of smoke from your exhaust be it white smoke from exhaust on startup or when accelerating and even when idle they all are indications that your vehicle is having one issue or the other which need your attention. How serious this will be is totally dependent on the colour and type of smoke that is coming out.
If the smoke appears on a hot day however or every time you start the car then something is amiss. Give your car immediate attention to avoid costlier repairs. White smoke usually points to an engine burning coolant.
Seals and gaskets are there to make sure certain liquids do not mix. No car engine should smoke from the hood on startup. The color of the smoke will indicate the problem.
White thick smoke indicates burning oil while grey smoke indicates an exhaust issue. Black smoke from diesel engine when starting. If this is a modern engine you likely have an injector problem.
On older engines this can happen. On older or worn engines blow smoke when the turbo is still spooling up because the amount of air has to catch up to the amount of diesel being injected. As soon as you notice a blue smoke determine the cause and fix it immediately.
Very often you can notice blue smoke during the morning when you start the engine for the first time. If you dont follow proper maintenance procedures the blue smoke from the exhaust problem is. 2005 chevy truck.

Upon starting the engine there is a puff of blue smoke with smell of oil burning. I have suffered this humiliation for 2 years with the boat I bought used and finally cured it with 7 of parts. If your engine smokes alot on start small cumulus cloud maybe has a rough idle but otherwise runs OK at speed do the following FIRST before you try any of the 59 other smoke related fixes.
Like the title says we have been noticing lately that on the first startup of the day we get a rather large cloud of blue smoke and the wonderful smell of burnt oil. This lasts less than a minute and goes away after that. There are no odd sounds or viberations coming from the motor while the smoke is puffing out or after it quits.
It happens most of the time on vertical crankshafts when they heve too much oil or when they are not parked on a level surface. Since the cylinder are horizontal and are about 14 above the oil level. A small amount of oil goes in the cylinders is burnt when the engine is started.
When I start up I get White Smoke then once i drive it and get the temperature up it disappears. But when i turn it off and turn it back on 5mins later I get the white smoke again but once it gets a bit hotter it disappears. Its a 2003 Honda Civic LX No VTEC.
At first I thought it was a Head Gasket issue but now I am confused. When the engine is shut off and sits for long periods of time the oil keeps draining from the engine into the turbo causing too much oil to collect inside the turbo and during cold start the oil is blowing past the turbo seals causing the puff of smoke. Vehicles with a diesel engine are more likely to emit black smoke.
What causes white smoke from exhaust on startup. In areas where the climate is usually cold then white smoke is normally emitted due to condensation on startup. The engine became cold after hours of sitting down so the emission of white smoke shouldnt be a problem.
Thats 600 gallons of oil total for all 6 engines. V-Twin power equipment and motorcycles are just a much smaller version of such a beast. But the same basic principals apply.
So a few puffs of white blue smoke at startup is a normal feature of these engines. Your valve guide seals could be leaking allowing oil to drip into the cylinders overnight. When you start uip the car the oil burns off creating the smoke.
If the car smokes on hard acceleration you could have ring problems. In either case have the engine checked out by a qualified mechanic. A blue smoke condition is typically present when the engine is under load and at first start up after sitting for a few hours.
As you can imagine engine oil is present all welcome throughout the engine as it lubricates internal parts. The combustion chamber is the exception. This chamber must stay as oil free as possible to.
Or is it one of the new engines that have a single control and an auto choke feature. Some smoke at startup when cold due to the choke open is normal for any small engine. My engine manualand all mowers Ive ever owned recommend that you reduce the ThrottleSpeed to the slowest settin for a minute or two before turning off.
A common reason is that if you leave the outboard tilted down after running it there can be oil build up in the cylinders. Which as the engine sits it can leak down into the cylinder and then when you start it up you will see smoke. Just trim the engine up to about a 45-degree angle and let it sit for a while.
That should resolve the smoking. My 04 Silverado was on its 3rd ENGINE 53L by 40K miles. I smoked out the lakeville gander mountain parking lot one day when I started it up.
Original engine water pump at 12k miles. Blown head gasket and a hydraulicd engine at 22K. Second engine lasted 6K miles had a dealer ask me why I still had original oil filter on engine.
