I have a Briggs & Stratton 128602 series, 0149E1 model vertical shaft engine on a Snapper 21” self propelled I recently purchased. It runs well but I noticed oil on the floor, after checking it is leaking around the crankshaft seal. I can replace that but during the process I found the crankshaft has noticeable end play, I have never noticed any end play in other small engines. What are the causes of this end play and should it be corrected?
