OK, Let see if anyone can toss some ideas out there. I have a Husqvarna riding lawn mower available to me, to make a long story short its a couple years old but only ended up getting 4 months worth of use its first season, it looks great and actually runs great but once it warms up or gets under a load it will smoke and burn oil like no other. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on what might be causing this, for the price of the motor its not worth replacing. Its a Briggs 23 HP V-Twin Intek. Just trying to figure if it might make a good 'project', I am not worried about tackling the problem just would like some thoughts on what **might** be the problem.

Re: Small Engine Experts??? Warmed up and burning oil...
I would say its a 4 stroke isnt it? If its burning oil under load I would guess its piston rings.Current Jeep: 2004 Jeep Liberty with stuff

It's either rings or valves. Have you contacted Husqvarna? Maybe they have a discussion forum?

Yup, rings or valves. Do a compression test and see if it is the same on both sides.If its fast, loud, and runs on a flammable liquid...count me in.Comment
