oil pumping out on mower deck?
Original Message Jul 17, 2005 8:12 pm

I know this has been covered some time ago. please advise me on this. I was mowing with a used 4 hp tecumseh mower the other day for the first time. one of the banks was a bit steep. I noticed the oil was coming out and covering the whole deck! I stopped right away. oil level read about 1/3 low after that. was level. what caused this and any preventive ways to stop this? thanks in advance. Gene

hi- best I can tell is it came from the vent tube by carb. this only did this when I used it on the steep bank. used it 20 min on level ground and didn't do it?? thanks for any input Gene

Geno,
What kind of mower is this engine on?
What are the engine model numbers?
