Handy Don 14,054 #4 Posted January 3, 2022 When choked, the engine is intake causes a lower pressure in the combustion chamber so it may be pulling oil off the cylinder walls around the rings and burning it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 7,253 #5 Posted January 3, 2022 With small engines, I don't worry about a puff of blue when starting with the choke on. Even some brand new engines seem to do this a bit. Now, if you are fogging mosquito's with a heavy smoke then you may have an issue. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
