[QUOTE="spitzair, post: 110139, member: 3333"] Most likely a head gasket. Very common on these engines, in fact, our 873 had the same problem years ago, TONS of smoke but still started and ran great. They have 3 styles of head gaskets available for this engine, they have a tab on them that has either 1, 2 or no notches if I recall correctly. We didn't know which gasket was in our machine so the dealer sent us all 3 and we sent back the 2 that we didn't use. Was a fairly straight forward repair and once done there was no more smoke. This was a good 15 or so years ago or more now and it's held up well. [/QUOTE]
