Hi:

Sorry no one got back to you.

Any chance you got some bad gas, since I assume it is stored outside also?

On the smoke, some thing in the gas, or the engine oil. It could just be that the engine is getting old and some wear on it. If you are not using a straight 30W oil, try it. Most mowers suggest it, not a 10w30.
