16 h p briggs

ken house · Aug 17, 2013

bought a snapper mower with 16 h p briggs. motor would not turn over. put a wrench on end of crank, put oil in cylinder, rocked engine, got it loose and running. it runs and starts good. does not smoke. do not see any oil leaks. engine oil is getting gone. ????

changed oil and filter, put 10 W 30 in. maybe oil change will help. friend advises to use straight 30 weight oil.

ideas?
