Lot of smoke, looks like a trip to the shop for a prime mover overhaul!

Normally, you can restore a smoke unit with a new wick, maybe a new resistor, and a few minutes at the bench.  Other than ones that have truly gone up in smoke, or zinc rot gets, I don't replace whole smoke units.

I understand your position.  This is the second Smoke  Emergency on this engine. ( I run and enjoy it a lot).    The first time I had to replace the fan.   In doing so I realized I had to remove the entire Smoke Unit Assembly to replace the fan.      After the resistor fizzled out, I just purchased an entirely new Assembly.    Four screws and re-attaching a wire and I was done.   No workbench time required.      For me, it was faster to do it this way.    I like fast,  I like easy.    When I have time, I can always go back to the original Assembly and replace the resistor.
