Question:
white smoke comes out after running the mower for 20 seconds
it runs fine for the first 20 seconds then smokes. The problem started after fixing belt for drive wheels that jump off pulley. I tipped the mower on it side the same way i drained the oil. Husqvarna model 917.375820 Briggs and Stratton 6.75HP. Mower is 3 - 4 years old and has been trouble free. I replaced oil 10 running hours ago. I replaced the oil again and replaced the air filter.

Answer
Hi Don,
How much run time is one the mower since it was tipped? Its possible that there could be some residual oil in the muffler that is still burning off when it gets hot. It is also possible that the oil level is overfilled.
