Hey guys I have a craftsman that someone overfilled with oil by about a quart. I got it down where it should be but I'm still seeing a little oil run into carb through the breather hose. Maybe it hasn't all emptied out of the breather yet as I haven't ran it long after I drained some oil. Model number is 4P90HUA. Is there anything else I should look for as to why it's doing this?
Go mow.
When you have finished mowing turn the engine off then pull the dip stick.
If the tube smokes then the head gasket is leaking.
Also have a feel of the oil before you start the mower.
If it feels thin or hard then the excessive oil is fuel that has dribbled into the engine through a faulty float bowl valve.
If this is the case do not run the mower till you have changed the oil.
After the first mow change the oil again & the filter.
Check the oil before the next mow, if it has gone up then the float valve is still leaking.
