  • / Cub Cadet LTX 1050 White Smoke and Shuts Off on start up
I got this riding mower Cub Cadet LTX 1050 from the old house owner. I changed both driving and deck belt changed oil and oil filter and mowed my yard once worked out great. But 2 weeks later when I tried to start it again it made a HUGE white smoke and shut off itself 5 seconds after started. I tried a few times and every time was the same thing smoke and shut off itself in 5 seconds. I found oil leak(black color oil) from the front bottom of the mower.

What the issue could be? I never learned how to fix mower before. Please help. The attachment photo was the oil leaking.

Check the oil level
If it is higher than it should be drain the oil and change it twice.
Next remove the carb and clean it
The float is not shutting off and fuel is flowing inside the carb, inside the engine & into the sump.
So when the engine starts an oily fuel mix gets blown into the carb via the crankcase breather .
You might need a new air filter as well.
