Had my throttle most of the way down for a good 10 seconds right after starting it up, and was getting nowhere when a nice cloud of white smoke came billowing out of the back of the machine. Couldn't tell if it smelt like oil burning as I had just finished up doing a decent amount of welding and the smoke was lingering in the air. Shut the machine off, took a good look at it, checked my oil, which was clean and full, made sure I had compression in both cylinders via the pull rope, and started it back up with no issue. Any ideas as to why it smoked?
Clean the spark plug and try it again
