I am fixing up a John Deere R72 riding mower for a lady. I have cleaned the carb, changed oil, and cleaned the air filter. It fires right up BUT it smokes like a chimney! I mean major white smoke coming out of the muffler. Doesn't this mean it is burning oil? Will it need a complete overhaul? The engine is a 1985 Briggs 8 HP. Thanks for the help.
