2023 XT1 smoking
I recently bought an XT1 with an Intelipower engine. 2023 model 13AGA9Tsa10. It starts fine but it's starting to expel a small amount of white smoke at startup that lasts for about 5 seconds then clears up and doesn't keep smoking after that. Am I looking at the start of a head gasket problem or is this common with the Intelipower motor since it doesn't have a manual choke? I suspect it's getting a small amount of gas into the oil somehow. I've checked the oil dipstick and I don't smell and I suspect it's getting a small amount of gas into the oil somehow. I've checked the oil dipstick and I don't smell any gas and it's not visible either. The oil is right at the full mark now however, I might have added a bit too much when I changed the oil this year- fresh oil is really hard to see when it's new.engine3 .jpg

I cannot specifically answer your question but a lot/most small engines blow a little smoke/cloud on start-up
My Kohler does it It might just be on start-up it is a little rich on the choke ?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
