Hey Jim
How ya doing? I gotta question for ya. My 18 hp briggs was missing so I took the air cover off and saw oil around the top of the carb area and oil around the base of the carb. I added some seafoam to see if the valves are sticking a little and let it idle. With the air cover off it idles and runs good. With the cover back on it misses. There seems to be a little bit excess of oil around the top, I know a little is fine but this much seems like it could be part of the problem. Any ideas???
