B&S Platinum 7.25 won't start unless starting fluid is sprayed, then blue smoke,dies
I'm working on a B&S platinum engine on Craftsman push mower (128M02 1612-F1) - came in and found out when I took the dipstick tube off, oil just poured out; too much oil, cleaned it up, changed spark plug and air filter, cleaned out fuel tank, put new fresh gas in and it won't start unless I spray starting fluid in carb, then runs for maybe 2 seconds while belching out blue smoke.....thoughts? I haven't taken the carb off yet....
