I have a Craftsman push mower with a B&S 122T02-0824-E1 engine on it.
Basically, won't start. I pulled the plug and the plug had some oil on it. Swapped plugs and same thing, oil getting on the plug. Will this prevent it from starting? The oil was a milky grey color so I changed the oil. The oil WAS overfull until I changed it. I thought maybe moisture or fuel in the oil made it overfull. Not sure.
I pulled the plug and then pulled the starter a bunch of times in case there was oil in the combustion chamber. Nothing came out (this was before the oil change).
I put fresh gas in, gas getting to the carb. Air filter removed because it's dirty (will get a new one once I get the thing running).
Carb cleaned out, new float pin and pin seat (this was torn up, so I replaced it). Carb looks good. Gaskets are good.
Even checked compression, dry and wet - 61 psi all around.
Any ideas?
