    Probably is a bad pump but B&S also says to use 30w. You can use 10w30 and even 5w30 but they warn you that oil usage will be up.

    I ordered a new fuel pump for it,I'm thinking that the rubber diaphram inside is leaking.It's a sealed unit so I can't take it apart.engine runs normal so I can't think of anything else that could be bad .thanks for you response, den
