Put a new carb and head gasket on and it’s running for the time being. Thanks for pointing out it could be the head gasket. Didn’t expect the other one to fail so quickly.

It is. I’m going to replace the carb and replace the oil. As far as the previous gasket install, I basically cleaned as much carbon buildup as I could and slapped it on.

Oil level a touch low and I can smell there’s gas in it. I could replace the carb and see if that helps, but getting tired of working on this.

No, and I thought it was just burn off, but it’s billowing from the exhaust port. There was a decent amount of oil when I opened the valve cover.

~15 year old Craftsman LT1000. Replaced head gasket in May, ran fine until a few days ago when it died. Adjusted intake valve and it starts back up but with a good amount of white smoke from the exhaust. Any troubleshooting tips? Would like to keep it running until the end of the season. Thanks!
