Hi !! can anyone help I have a 1999 10 HP Briggs & Stratton on a 28" riding mower It has been starting and running fine ,But today it will start but after a few minutes it just loads up with fuel and chokes out and dies And the fuel seems to have oil in it My question is how is the oil getting in with The fuel I know the float can be stuck and loading up But how about the oil ? Could I have worn or broken rings.Any answers out there ....thanks .Ranger1

Does it have a slippery residue when you rub some between your fingers? Put some fresh fuel in and see what happens. The flooding is likely due to a carb problem. Try fresh gas first, then check and clean, and rebuild if necessary, the carb. John Davies
