Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): flushing gas out of crankcase, briggs and stratton, crankcase
QuestionBriggs and stratton engine has electrific stop valve in carb. and it stuck open and flooded crankcase. How many times should I drain and change oil and filter before using.
AnswerI like to change the oil a couple of times, using the same filter. On the final refill, the third oil fill, I replace the filter.
Make sure you check the carb inlet needle, seat and float or install in inline fuel shut-off valve to make sure gas does not leak into the crankcase again.
