Briggs 16hp horizontal shaft twin spitting gas
Hi guys,
I have a Briggs 16hp twin horizontal shaft engine that seems to run OK other than it it spitting gas out of what I presume to be the overflow tube at the back of the carb.
Markings on the engine are:
Model 303447
Type 0443-01
Code 93081911
Below type is the number 3082.
It's a new machine to me and I've been using it mostly for mowing at high rpm. The fuel issue seems to come up at low rpm after warmed up. It seems to run a bit rich at high RPM too, but I don't remember noticing any spitting.
Is the needle not able to close and leaking excess fuel into the carb? I haven't taken the top off the carb yet, but I ran it today and took some video. I took off the air cleaner and can't see any fuel coming out the top of the carb.
Do I need to worry about crankcase oil contamination?
Any pictures or notes on how to do this? I don't have a service manual for this engine.
