After re-reading a little I have a few addition comments.
Guy- I agree that it looks like the IP may have been changed at some point, the only few I have seen all had black painted pumps, this one appears clean , not painted.
Also, I would consider that smoke Gray. The TM notes IP timing, injector issues and other IP problems as causes of Gray smoke. ( overall fuel delivery issues )

Evvy, up above you said the engine would stall if the air cleaner isn't installed, can you elaborate? Does the machine start to die out if you pull the filter off while running?? if So, that is very ODD!

Hi Ray,

Yes, that's right. It will stall if I remove both filters while it's running. It's repeatable.
