The last few days the Briggs engine on the Cox ride on is blowing a cloud of smoke for a few seconds while under load. While it blows smoke it labours as if the choke was on. Then it goes back to normal. It has happened four or five times. No other issues other than this. What could cause this?
try posting it on Lawnsite
The oil level and it was a bit high. Drained a bit out. Hoping that was it.Quote:

Yes the oil needs to be spot on or slightly under full, even with the Oil level spot on they will puff abit if the motor is hot and your going up or down steep slopes.
Sounds right. No sign of the problem today although it wasn't a steep block.Quote:

The next two where bought from the same store on evilbay. This time I'll try original. I stupidly threw the original away so I have no idea how to find the part number.
Any ideas as to what could be causing these failures? Interestingly as i was holding the wire testing for spark I recieved a fair old wack of current but I can't see any spark. Very frustrating.

Thanks Redeye. Very handy although I can't find my motor in there yet. I wonder if it could be related to the ignition switch in some way as it has only happened after turning the machine off but that wouldn't explain why replacing the coils fixed it. I need to do a bit more research.Quote:
