2005 Gravely lawn mover with only 150 hours: uses lots of oil, smokes sometimes and has started running rough. Has anyone had this problem.

Which Kohler engine do you have. Model and spec would be most helpful.

Make sure the spark plugs are firing on both cylinders. Could be a valve problem or a head gasket problem. If you don't have fire on both cylinders the non working cylinder can act like a oil pump. Head gasket leaking causing cause symptoms similar to a blowby problem. Valve not working on one cylinder can act like a non firing plug. start with the spark plugs and see if both fire.
