I have a 700 HD with the Aegis 26Hp engine, model year 2011.
It's had little use, and I ran it 3x this summer with little problem after de-gumming the carb.
Today I went to start it & it started reluctantly with white smoke & moisture/condensation out the exhaust. It would run for 30-40 seconds at full throttle then quit, when I reduced throttle.
I checked the radiator and no oil that I could see but some whitish deposits around the filler cap/neck.The antifreeze was green, normal more or less, the overflow bottle is low but was that way since new.
My first thought is that a head gasket has blown, but it has had such little use....what a bummer.
I am good at mechanical things, do my own work like brake lines, timing belts, Etc,but never pulled the heads on an engine before.
The most pressing issue right now is that it's in front of my tractor/snowblower and I need it out to deal with a incoming storm....any hints on moving these machines with a non-running engine? I have a winch.
