Hi I think i got a big proplem I have a briggs & stratton 14.5 hp Intek with ohv. Model #285777.. type 1142-e1.... it for my lawn tractor....

    I started up my machine today and there was like little white/gray  smoke coming from my muffler  when i put the blades on there was a lot of smoke coming out of the muffer I stop it to check it out and I notice oil driping from my air filter I open up the air filter and notice it was full of oil..... can anyone help  ,,I'm thinking maybe the oil ring ????    thks Mark

Has anyone had this mower tipped on its side ?   Maybe to clean under the deck or to sharpen the blade.  This will also fill the breather and filter with oil.

Good luck,

Friiy
