Oil coming out of the carb compartment breather tube. Any suggestions?

Oil accumulating in mower belt pulley above the clutch. Need to try to replace oil seal above the clutch but so far have been unable to loosen the bolt on the shaft beneath the clutch. Dumb question: does this bolt loosen in the universal direction -- counter-clockwise and, as I suspect, does it...

My Poulan Pro Riding Mower - PP20VA46 is leaking gas. When I start it, gasoline comes streaming out from the exhaust, it looks like. This is after sitting for a few of days. The gas tank was full the last time I used it a few days prior. There was only a little less than 1/4 left in the tank...

After replacing the upper shaft seal and breather plate and gasket I thoroughly cleaned the oily mess. After mowing a couple of hours I can see a new oily mess from what appears to be a leak at the governor shaft seal. After watching a couple of YouTube videos it doesn't appear to be a...

I believe the right side axle seal is leaking, onto the drive belt causing it to slip when warm. Is this a easy fix? I'm of the belief, if one is leaking, the other is probably going to start. The right side looks like it might be a easy fix, but the left side, I'm not so sure. Anyone have any...

This topic came up after I started a thread about my starter on this engine. Seemed like a new thread is in order: One or more significant oil leaks have existed for sometime causing quite a mess on the entire upper engine (mostly hidden by the engine cover). Txmowman pointed to the breather...

I have a Kaw FH721V, 25 hp. Changed the oil recently to Shell T-5, 15w40. I had been using SAE 30 full synthetic, Cut grass for about 45 minutes and the engine sounded strange. Sounded like a bad muffler. I checked the oil and there wasn’t any on the stick. I put in about a quart to the full...

Does anyone have one of these plastic rings around the intake to the carb. I took mine off and replaced it with a o ring. No more air leak. Mower running perfect.

My father is 81 years old and having some memory/cognitive issues but has unfortunately continued to use his ~20 year old Scag mower. My mother told me that three times he has added oil to the oil filler on the left side (the hydraulic oil reservoir) and she keeps finding a puddle of oil under...

I have a small push mower, don't remember the brand right off hand but it has a Briggs and Stratton engine on it, when I put oil into the oil reservoir it immediately starts to smoke heavily until the oil is gone, is this a gasket problem of some kind? Would appreciate any feed back on this issue.

I located an oil leak in my transmission coming from behind the control lever. Looking at the parts diagram there are a couple o-rings behind the control lever and 2 pins that hold the control lever on transmission housing. Any help on how to remove those pins to free the control lever so i...

OK... I noticed that last time I mowed, that the mower was making a kind of clunking sort of noise intermittently. I use earplugs so I can't be more specific more than that. Today, it was doing it again. I tried with and without the front wheel drive power assist, because it SEEMED like it...
