I'm not sure the cause. My wife was using it and the next time I went out to use it there was oil on the ground underneath it and it ran rough.

I have a Briggs and Stratton 500e push mower that just had the air filter and spark plug changed, plus I took the carb off and made sure everything was clean, but when I start it seems to have little power, shakes alot, and if you push it over grass it'll die. I also noticed it will run better...

Went back out and it won't fire up now. Also looks like there might be a slow gas leak on the bottom of the carb bc I had gas on the deck. I think there might be an issue with one of the screws in the bottom, it won't tighten all the way, it just spins, so I'm wondering if that is where the gas...

I cleaned it and it fired right up. I cut my front yard and then went I went to the backyard I noticed a little bit of smoke coming from near the carb so I shut it down. Any ideas?

Thanks. I'll go ahead and clean it out. Should I be having gas sitting in that bowl? If not, what would cause that?

I've got a Briggs and Stratton 300E series push mower that won't start. I took off the carburetor and the bowl was filled with gas. What should my next step be to getting this thing back to running?
