I have a craftsman’s 15.5 HP riding lawn mower
It has been running fine , 2 days ago I do just as I always have done when finished I pull into the shed lower the RPM’s let it run about 15 second and shut it down. Yesterday I got on and started it and it ran like a old tractor kind of like clop clop clop but fast and I found out that it was spitting oil out of
The same place that you put the oil in at--- at the same time with each stroke of the piston . I have always kept it full of good oil.
What is it? -- Thank you for the reply.
"IF" it is a Briggs...
My dad just went through this on a larger Briggs.
Come to find out, there is a flaw in their intake setup. If the air filter becomes clogged, it will cause manifold vacuum to scavenge oil from the sump. The Husquavarna dealer told him Briggs had changed the intake design on later models, but to tell anyone he knew running a Briggs to check the air filter and keep it clean. Hope this helps and good luck.
