I have a new Z422 with about 20 hours on it. On a cold start with choke pulled on I crank and as it starts to catch and I immediately release choke and when it starts to run its blowing blue looking smoke. The less choke I use the smaller the smoke cloud is. When its warm, no smoke at all on start

It hasn't always done this. Just started last 2 mows.

Should I be concerned or is it just fuel burning off. Hate to think the engine is having issues.

Thanks for any comments.
