~ help required...
I've got a briggs & strat in my "ride 'em" lawn mower.
It's basically new... I got it last fall.
It's been working like a charm.
Then, all of a sudden...
I get the great gout of white smoke pouring out the engine...
It coughs... the engine loses horsepower, makes a couple of cliche automobile "knocking" sounds...
The then smoke stops... the engine picks up again and we're good to go.
Except... I'm in a cloud of smoke... like, enough to cover half my front yard.
