Belts slipping ?

Does the exhaust blow out of the chute?

I appreciate you helping, I was actually telling someone thank you from this website in customer service. Regarding you question, no.

[Mick Dempsey]

A little crushed I’ll admit.

 

I’d say firstly, stop using it, or catastrophic failure might happen

 

What does the smoke smell of, oil, rubber or anything identifiable ?

Yes the exhaust exists through the chute on the 1400 and when cold ours smokes a bit with being a fairly old school lump of a engine in it.
