Great suggestions! Thank you. Lot better than replacing the engine again.

I put a new B&S engine (INTEK 17.5 HP - Model 31R907-0006-G1) on my Snapper riding mower 3 years ago. All running great until today when it started BLOWING SMOKE..... a lot of smoke. Pulled the oil dip stick and smelled of gas. Changed the oil and blew a small amount of smoke on first start...

I am replacing the B&S engine on my 21" Snapper riding mower and wanting to go from recoil start to electric start. Are there any specific challenges to converting to electric start when installing the new engine?

I have an 11-year old Snapper riding mower with an 11.5 HP B&S Intek engine (NOT electric start) that (all of a sudden) won't start: 1. In the past, engine typically starts on the very first pull and runs great 2. Cut the grass a week ago just fine and shut off normally by cutting the gas flow...
