I have a B&S 20 hp OHV motor on a small yard tractor.

Starts fine. Runs fair. When deck is on and it's challenged, the motor wants to die. Or when just driving along (it's hydrostat) and I hit the pedal a bit harder and turn hard, it will try and die.

When it does try to die, it will spit out a bunch of white smoke.

What's my best bet to try first? Pull the carb and soak/clean? Or could it be something else?

Thanks.
