Briggs & Stratton Fuel in Oil, Smoking, Nikki Carburetor Issue NOT Needle and Seat. Easy DIY

[@pdetterman]

My guy!! I've been fighting this for days!! Replaced just about every other gasket I could think of. That gasket must have disintegrated and disappeared completed. Thank you for the detailed video!!

[@rjatx9]

Thank you so much. My mom's mower was doing just this. You even offered the part numbers. You are the man. Thank you!

[@Kritter2020]

Been beating my head against the wall trying to figure out this problem. Gotta kiss it next time. Thanks man.

[@BoomerBloc]

Morning from Texas T-Bone. I hope you read the comments on the old videos. This was very helpful. Think I fixed every other potrential cause for "gas in the oil" before seeing the video. Learning alot. I am also firing up my KZbin channel (Boomer Bloc) where I hope to do some small engine repair. Will always reference your videos. Happy Holidays!

[@robertsmith511]

That's why it's best to put in a fuel shut off vavle. Turn vavle off and let carb run dry . Then turn off key .

[@Curbsidehustle87]

Thank you you saved me I had the same motor with the same issue but I couldn’t place the problem because my O-ring looked new

[@jefft137]

Wow--my Deere L118 started smoking yesterday and oil was everywhere. I checked the oil and found it was way overfull, so I knew right away gas was getting into the oil and diluting it. The oil I drained out was very thin and full of gas. I had no idea of the cause but I searched Briggs and Stratton oil dilution on KZbin and found your video. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@jasonjones3]

My 3 year old Husky zero turn decided to fill the crank case spilling the oil out the exhaust, the crank case had over 1 gallon of gas in it when I drained the engine and had no oil left. It had sat for 2 months as I did not need to cut the grass due to lack of rain. the engine actually hydrolocked from the amount of fuel in the cylinders. Ran fine after draining then engine and flushing it. Now to get to the root of the problem. this looks like a good place to start. Thanks for the great video.

[@jonb5896]

I have this exact issue on a 2013 Husqvarna. You’re the only one I’ve found to explain the cause. Great video.

You didn’t say anything about the little jet sitting on the bench. That fell out when I took mine apart and I’m not sure where it goes.

Yep was my Oring to.New carb was 25 bucks..✌️

[@nickr4015]

Thank you so much. I have nearly the same engine in a husqvarna and it just started blowing blue smoke, gas coming out of the exhaust and my oil is filled with gas. I will pull off the carb the way you showed. Thank you.

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

Thank you. You can fix it my friend. We have a couple videos on that issue. One had over 100k views.

[@nickr4015]

@@RaleysSmallEngines say, before it broke down, I had recently changed the oil and oil filter. Obviously I need more oil, but is my new filter trash, or can I still use it? Thank you again.

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

@@nickr4015 replace it

[@rogermcdonald1607]

Nice tip, i thought you were going after that electric fuel shut off on the bowl. Cheap fix but also have the cost of an oil change and filter. 👍🇺🇸Roger

[@thedeerhunter4407]

thumbs up but i wish i saw it go back together and start up.i'm trying to help inlaws w their 2017 ariens riding mower which is getting gas into the crankcase.

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

Fuel in crankcase is caused by a leaking carburetor or a fuel pump leaking thru the pulse line.

[@angelaprater2679]

Very nice video

Mine the floats cracked it's a v twin 18 HP Briggs can't find a replacement float anywhere

[@donaldhunt4]

[@puppygadget3189]

Dang that one has had a tough hard life.

[@mikemaricle9941]

I'm having this problem with a B&S 40R877/0001-G1. Is this happening while the engine is running, or off? It's on a JD Z235, and the gas tank sits lower than the carb, so it can't be gravity.

[@TheCommo81]

Good ole briggs ...I miss tecumseh. look at the rust on that flywheel.....please tell me you cleaned that off and rubbed some oil on that or something. It's triggering my OCD lol.

[@brianbeilke174]

I replaced the carb with the Briggs as listed. I am still having he hydolock issue. Any suggestions would be great.

[@Grrrnthumb]

Compression lock has similar symptoms, but no gas in the oil or extra gas pouring out the spark plug hole like this problem does. Usually caused by broken compression release lever on the camshaft. Tbone has a great video here on how to diagnose & replace camshaft

[@evisandoval]

I have a 20 HP Briggs & Stratton motor for gas, i have a same problem, i changed a carburater complete for a new one, and the problem is still remains. Please can you help me?. Other sings, gas is expeled by exhaust pipe, oil in air filter.

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

If your old has gas in it only two things can cause it. Carburetor or fuel pump leaking gas thru the pulse line into the valve cover.

[@vanessadaugherty4294]

My mowers doing this, but it’s a 22hp V-twin Briggs and Stratton, so I’m wondering what the gasket & O ring kit # is?

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

Look on the valve cover and get the model, type and code. Then look up the correct part number for your machine on partstree.com

[@Mark-jz4dz]

Hello sir, Love your video. I Have been struggling with this issue with gas getting into the motor. I'm very familiar with needle seats and carbs. I have had a lot of dirt bike carbs over the years. Anyways, I cannot get rid of this issue. I have drained the tank and new fuel filter. My struggle is, I just purchased a brand new briggs and Stratton carburetor and put it on. Its doing the SAME thing, where white smoke and gas is filling up the oil. I'm at a complete loss knowing it has a brand new carburetor. I keep thinking what else it could be? Gas tank not totally cleaned out. This is on a John Deer Z425 zero turn mower.. any help would be appreciated.

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

Thanks for watching. You may have a bad fuel pump. Remove the pulse hose and see if it is wet with fuel.

[@Mark-jz4dz]

@@RaleysSmallEngines . Do you think the fuel pump or lines is getting debris so the needle seat won't close? What is weird, if I change the oil again to remove the gas and put oil back it starts up like a champ and can mow the lawn fine. Give it a week later, gas is back in the crankcase when starting it back up. I'm going to change the lines and then look at pump. That's about all that's left. I didn't think about lines Until now...im going to order a new pump. Do you happen to have that part # for. 23hp John Deere z445 Briggs and Stratton

[@RaleysSmallEngines]

@@Mark-jz4dz just order a Briggs and stratton vacuum operated fuel pump. Don't use aftermarket.

[@Mark-jz4dz]

I just want to say this fixed the issue. I can't figure out why a fuel pump makes the needle seat stay closed. This should be done by the floats in the carb. I'm definitely not a small engine guy, thanks for the recommendation, I probably replaced the oil 6 times because I thought I had this fixed. So simple...

[@bobbydodson4934]

I was having this same problem hopefully this will fix it...I hate these fuel pumps. Thanks for this information

[@corytucker818]

You can see the gas on the dipstick if you know what it looks like

[@donaldshimkus539]

The first thing you SHOULDA done was chunk that Intek in the scrap pile.

[@Ocean_breezes]

No. Mine is 21 years old. Runs great . Only replaced carbs 3x in 21years.

[@donaldshimkus539]

@@Ocean_breezes 😂 "only" 3 times in 21 yrs. Well, I guess you're the lucky one. 😉

[@tinkerscorner54]

@@donaldshimkus539 Mine is 25 years old, and I've never had to replace the carb. I cleaned the jets once just to say that I did it. It does have the 2 BBL carb, though, not the one in the video. It still runs great. From what I've seen, most Intek problems seem to be operator induced. I do have to admit that I may actually have to replace the rear tires on the mower soon. I changed the fronts about 5 years ago.

[@donaldshimkus539]

@@tinkerscorner54 I have 2 lines of thought here, 1 is if it's operator issues all other brands would fail at a similar rate. 2 is those who buy this cheaper product are less knowledgeable about it's operation/maintenance and therefore tend to cause their early demise. The few that last are owned by folks like yourself who know how to take care of their equipment.

[@tinkerscorner54]

@@donaldshimkus539 You are correct. All of them fail if neglected/abused. I see it in all types of engines, transmissions, suspension parts, tires, etc. Especially in cars. And then people get the rude awakening about what neglect/abuse costs them. They expect you to fix it cheap but don't seem to have a clue that it would have been much cheaper to have the maintenance done in the first place. Not to mention driving/operating habits . . . I've seen some really funky examples over the years. Some really great equipment just totally trashed out way before it's time from not even taking the time to learn to use it, let alone take care of it. On the other hand, you don't see or hear much about the good ones. They just go down the highway in their 1974 Pinto with 500K+ miles on the original engine, or their 1997 riding mower that still looks and operates as new, better than the newer, similar equipment. Or their 1971 Motor home that, may not look all that great on the outside but is a jewel on the inside and under the hood. Mostly what we see and hear about are the problems. I like the "Free Mower in the Trash" videos. Those are the ones where you see all sorts, from neglect and abuse to ignorance and not knowing any better. It can be either a jewel or a money pit. Take care and have a great day!
