Several days ago, while mowing with my Simplicity Sovereign, Kohler
CH18S) I completely blew out the front oil seal. Today, I replaced the
seal, cleaned the carb, and put the crankcase vent tube back where it
belongs. I figured since the tube had been exposed that I would change
the oil and filter as well. When I drained the oil, I noticed it was
very thin, so I stuck a finger in the stream, and sure enough it was
raw fuel. I put everything back together,and it started right up. I made
two passes around the yard, and it was smoking so I check and it was
already pushing oil past the seal. For some reason I am creating too
much crankcase pressure. I pulled the crankcase vent tube and check for
any obstructions, I found none. Any ideas what to check for? If I keep
running it, it will just blow another seal. Thanks in advance.
