I have a 16hp vanguard commercial ohv motor. Was running fine then shutdown. When I looked it over it seemed to have a lot of oil on the top side of motor. I found that the dipstick was out just abit. I checked the oil and it was empty. (oil shut down saves another one). I cleaned it up added oil and went to fire it back up. Engine runs rough then dies. I check spark plugs and find that one is covered will carbon oil paste. I clean them up and start the engine once again and find they it has a lot of blowby coming out of the reed filter (I think that's what it is called) and putting a lot of oil into the carb. I changed the reed filter but same results. Do I have a blown head gasket? I have ajusted the valves. Or could it be worse? Model 305447 Type 0075-e1 code 06041111.
Anything you can provide will help.
Thanks
