I have a craftsman 917 series 16hp ohv briggs engine. When I start the mower it has blue smoke and an oil burning smell for about a minute or two. It then clears up. I have installed a new head gasket (old one looked good). torqued bolts to correct setting. Cleaned carb and new float valve. No indication of loss of oil on dipstick. I think a small amount of oil is getting to muffler area, but nothing obvious. Does anyone have any thoughts? Is it possible to redo the muffler? Just looking for ideas
Thanks
