Have had ongoing starting and cutting out problems with this motor. Currently, the motor will start and run for a few minutes, but then cuts out and won't re-start. It seemed to produce white smoke when it did start.

This motor has been running fine for the last 5 or 6 weeks. Earlier in the summer, I had a problem getting it to start. I changed plugs and sprayed cleaner in the carbs. Just when I was about to call the repair shop, it started running fine.

I also had a problem earlier this summer with the "low oil" warning. It was coming on kind of off and on. I added oil directly to the tank and kept running. After about 30 gals, the alarm quit coming on and oil is being pulled from the seperate tank, so I quit direct mixing oil. I have only run about 10 gals or so non-mixed fuel before this starting problem.

Any suggestions???
