I am having a similar problem. Two or three times during a two hour period of mowing large clouds of white smoke come out of the exhaust. It also appears to happen when the mower is tilted. Recently our fuel company deliver gasoline to our house which was mixed with diesel fuel. The mowers would not run and I siphoned the tanks. Is it possible the there was a bit of diesel fuel still in the tanks and that is causing the white puffs of smoke>
