27HP Briggs
So, I jacked up the front of the mower today to check the blades. I noticed there is a hose that comes out of the top of the valve cover (Breather?) and goes into a small roundish plastic puck (pump?) that has other hoses coming out of it...
When it was jacked up there was fuel leaking out of that hose/puck...
I finished checking in about 2 minutes and let it back down. When I started the mower a huge plume of smoke came out and it started misting/spewing oil all over the floor. It ran for about 10 seconds and quit... that repeated about 10 times.....
Not sure what to do at this point.
When I parked it yesterday I topped off the fuel tank... Don't know if that has anything to do with it.
I just checked the oil and it is very thin and overfilled... wasn't yesterday.
