I have a Toro Zmaster mower
The engine is a FH580V KAI19.
It was running fine. Parked the mower last night, tried to start it today and oil is coming out of the OHV cover and blowing by through the muffler. the engine runs for about thirty seconds blowing white smoke and oil out of the muffler. No oil was leaking in the trailer until I tried to start it.

You could have a broken piston ring. check the oil level. if it is ok or low and still smokes or hard to start then you may have to overhaul the engine. let me know what you find.

It should be on the right side of engine when standing behind unit facing front. You should see the oil filter and just below that you'll see a pipe with a plastic end. Turn whichever way it will turn and pull out. it doesn't come off so don't pull or turn hard.
you check the oil with the dipstick resting on the tube, not screwed in
then check your fuel supply as it might have water in it
then remove valve covers and see if you have a valve guide seal that has moved
If you already changed oil and it is at proper level on dip stick let it run for about 5 minutes to burn out any excess oil in cylinder, if it continues to smoke you probably blew a gasket or seal on engine.If that is the case you are looking at buying a new mower unless if it under warranty or you have a cheap mechanic.
Hi,
That would be a broken compression ring that goes around the piston and keeps the oil in the crankcase...
That will mean a major engine overhall for you...
check the coil by pulling the plug and lay it against the head put the plug wire on pull the handle if it sparks then its not the coil another thing you can try is spay carb clean or starting fluid in carb see if it starts if that starts it then the float in the carb is stuck if i can help further e-mail me @[email protected]
Sounds like you may have broke the ring around the piston. I wouldn't run it again until you get it fixed. You could cause serious damage, if you haven't already. GOOD LUCK!
