My daughter has a zero turn mower, Hustler, with 21 HP Briggs engine. It was running
perfectly and started to smoke terribly. Still runs OK. It has the fuel pomp on the side of
the engine (hockey Puck style) which evidently pumps in relation to the crankcase pressure
by the downstroke of the piston. It is sucking up oil from the crankcase and leaking out
the oil through the fuel pump vent and pumping some into the fuel line. We got a new fuel
pump, but still has the problem. Is this a failure of the crankcase ventilation system, or
would I suspect other problems? I am currently 450 miles away and would appreciate any help or ideas. Many Thanks for your input.
