Greetings all;
A month ago my old JD rider was running clean and did the front yard
nicely, then I had a water leak and used it to stretch out a coil of
3
Let it idle while I corral tools, come back and going to cut about 1/4
of the back yard. Wind it up to about 2500 & start to engage the deck.
geiser of oil shoots about 4 feet up in the air out of the crankcase
vent hose.
Also looks like small leak in head gasket below the exhaust valve. Par
for the course for a Briggs & this one says 11 hp.
So it looks like I deal for the bigger craftsman, The $16 question is
whats most likely wrong with the engine? This,I'm guessing is more than
a head gasket. But is it worth tearing down to see?
Cheers, Gene Heskett
Most likely a cracked or broken piston, under load it passes a lot of
gas and takes the oil along.
Thats what you get for buying a Briggs & Scrapiron.
