lawnflite 906 with B S Engine correction Murray I have a lawnflite ride on mower and when I started it up white smoke and oil came out of the briggs & stratton engine muffler it ran for a few moments then stopped. there does not appear to be any oil on the spark plug. any ideas anyone Update (09/20/2016) whitish/grey on start up for about 1 minute or so

Jimmy, check to ensure the crank case is not overfilled with oil, carburetor float/ fuel shut off solenoid may have stuck allowing gas into engine overfilling engine oil, if this is the case fix carb. and change oil/drain thoroughly and fill using fresh proper grade oil, before starting again. There are a lot more reasons for engine to smoke this is one of the common ones along with blown head gasket. See links below for other causes and fixes. https://www.briggsandstratton.com/na/en_… http://www.doityourself.com/forum/outdoohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc0gfCds
