I just got my CJ7 out of the shed after a long 6 month hibernation. After
charging the battery she fired right up. As I drove I noticed a hefty size
puff of white smoke when I shifted gears. This never happened before, is it
from the long storage, bad gas, or what? Any ideas?

If it's really white, it's probably moisture....condesation in the rig
from being laid up during temp swings.

too late now, but it's always a good idea to drain and fill the oil and
gas after being stored any length of time....use the old gas for the lawn
mower....
