GEO.. Too much choke causes ..black.. smoke! If you are out in the field pulling an implement you should not be applying choke, if you have to something is wrong with your fuel system.
Everytime I start my mowers and tractors, too much choke washes oil off the cylinders. The white smoke stops after I remove the choke.
And yes if the fuel to air ratio isn't right over a long time, it will carbon up the plugs.
White/blue smoke is usually a sign of oil smoke. Black smoke is incomplete combustion.
White smoke on choke in a mower is usually due to the engine running very rich, which means more fuel is being burned than air. Check the air filter for air restrictions, and check for other airflow restrictions including a stuck choke.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power.
