    16HP Briggs Stratton Problem with oil
    What could possibly cause oil to soak spark plug. What's busted to let the oil into the cylinder? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks Timid Soul

    Too much oil... loose dipstick, fuel in the oil, or bad/faulty crankcase breather.

    A broken piston ring could be your problem. Do a compression test or a leak down test to see the shape of the engine. Rick
