Quick question:
pretty sure it is the rings but...
a friend is getting gas in his oil pretty bad on his 4 stroke carburated Briggs and Staton riding mower. he has to change the oil ever time he mows. I would think bad rings, but if anyone else has any guesses he would like to try and fix this. Thanks! :hick:
he's most likely got bad rings and is burnig the oil its the only logical explenation, unless its leaking everywere which i doubt...
My guess would be the float or needle valve is sticking, dumping raw fuel in and causing fuel in the oil. It's a common problem in seasonal engines that sit around for months at a time...
thanks guys. I forgot that the float may be sticking. I'll talk to him.
