Please note that if the crankcase has become contaminated with fuel, it is important to drain the diluted oil to ensure interior components are properly lubricated. It is recommended that the engine is refilled with new oil and drained repeatedly until no smell of gasoline remains in the drained oil.

If it is determined carburetor maintenance is required to correct this problem, a good source for technical servicing information and engine specifications would be a Briggs & Stratton Repair Manual (Lookup Manual by Engine Model Series). The correct Repair Manual for your model engine is often listed in your engine's Illustrated Parts List.

Repair Manuals are available for purchase locally from a Briggs & Stratton Authorized Dealer.
