The white buildup can also be caused by heat. The wrong heat range spark plug , overadvanced ignition timing, intake manifold vacuum leaks, sticking intake or exhaust valves, or insufficient engine cooling are all possible causes.

Why do sparkplugs turn black on a lawnmower and how do you fix it?
Black spark plugs indicate that the fuel mixture is too rich in fuel. White spark plugs indicate that the fuel mixture does not have enough fuel. The proper color for spark plugs is tan. Black spark plugs also indicate that oil is entering the combustion chamber and burning. If your lawnmower is 2 stroke, this is probably normal due to the gas/oil mix of fuel added to the tank. If your lawnmower is 4 stroke, you need to adjust the carbs to reduce the amount of fuel in the fuel/air mix.

Bad spark plugs and leads can commonly make the engine feel like its 'hesitating' or skipping a beat, often worsening in the higher rev range. However it is not the cause of white smoke.

The most common cause of this is a cracked head gasket, which you will need to replace in order to rectify the white smoke.
