Hello everyone, this is my first post on this site. My issue today is this:
I have a 38" simplicity with a 15.5hp briggs single cylinder ohv engine. The problem it has is that it burns oil/gas. There is gas in the oil as well. I researched this and several people said the carb was trashed and needed rebuilt, so, I installed a brand new one. This has still not solved the problem. I popped the head off, replaced the head gasket, adjusted the valves, and compression tested it (110lbs). It still burns a lot of blue smoke from the exhaust, as well as the crank case breather that leads into the airbox. Any ideas what to do now? Thanks!!
