Hey everybody, So I have a Craftsman 917.28712 riding mower, I think from 2007, that was sitting a while, but didn't see a ton of use. It starts fine, runs fine, idles fine, power is fine, didn't overfill the oil, air filter doesn't have oil in it.....but it tears through oil. It puffs white smoke out which comes and goes. It's not thick smoke, but sometimes it can be pretty heavy, and then it will stop for a while then smoke again. Sort of fades in and out. I did a head gasket, same thing, so I did it again with another gasket thinking I did it wrong, same thing. At this point I'm thinking bad piston rings? I read it could be a clogged breather tube too. Does that sound possible? Where do you guys and gals think I should go from here? Thanks!
