Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

When i was cleaning my mower the other day after cutting. I tilted it to the wrong side. I was unaware of any problems. Then i noticed there was oil leaking out of the air cleaner. I removed the air cleaner and noticed there was alot of oil in there. I cleaned it out and replaced the air cleaner. I have not started the mower yet cause i was worried that i might have done some damage to the engine. By the way the mower is a craftsman with a 5.5 honda engine. If you need the numbers to help me out i can get them. Don't have them available right now. Thanks for any imput you can give me.

Here is a pic of the engine. if this helps

I have done this myself a few times but usually all it takes is a new sparkplug and air filter and your good to go.

Thanks for all the advice. I am having a hard time finding a spark plug for the mower. The part number is NGK BPR6ES. I am going to check the auto parts stor to see if they can help. I did find that chanpion makes a plug equivalent which is the RN9YC. Should i go with the champion or fidn the other plug. I don't know if it will make a difference but it could. I can fidn it online but don't want to wait for it.

The Champion equivalent will work just fine.

I agree, most small engines use Champian plugs anyway

Glad you got it fixed!
