I have a 3 year old Intek single cylinder that see's ~50 hours a year. I have been changing the oil and filter yearly with M1 5w30 and have had very little if any oil consumption. I week ago I was mowing on a hot day and after about 20 minutes I got a big puff of oil smoke and it almost stalled, from that point on it has been burning oil. I haven't determined how much yet, but enough to have that annoying smell and visible smoke.
Is anyone familiar with this engine model and what it possibly could be causing the issue?
