WHAT WOULD CAUSE OIL TO BLOW FROM BREATHER PIPE
How to Identify and Fix Common Gardening Problems ?
We provide a variety of viewpoints on how to identify and fix common gardening problems. Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced gardeners :
Too much oil in the crankcase (overfilled!) Engine speed is too high. Oil filler cap or oil fill gasket is damaged or missing. Breather mechanism is dirty, damaged or defective.
Common signs include oil leaks, excessively high idle, and a decrease in engine performance, power, and acceleration.
As mentioned above, the high probability of oil leakage from the valve cover is caused by the failure of the crankcase ventilation system. In addition to leaking into the engine under pressure, oil leaks into the combustion chamber.

Oil leaking out on yardman mower – Yard Man YardMan 11A41K3001 21Inch 173cc Kohler OHV Gas Powered BagMulchSide Discharge Lawn Mower (NonCARB Compliant) ()
ANSWER : You haven’t supplied a lot of information but generally when this happens it is due t the mower being tipped the wrong way.
If you must look under the mower then tip it back with the handles to the ground and front wheel in the air.
Now to rectify your problem; The air-filter will probably be saturated with oil. It will probably be the cartridge type which is not serviceable. Purchase a new filter (take your old filter so the sale person can compare like for like). Before you refit the new filter, take out the sparkplug, it will probably be saturated in oil – wash it in petrol, let it dry then refit it. The engine should start and belch out great quantities of smoke. Don’t be alarmed this will burn away. Once the smoke has cleared, check the oil level, fit the air filter and mow your lawn.

I have a Kohler 17 HP engine on a Craftsman lawn mower. I have a clear fuel filter and can see that after operating the engine, the filter runs dry and the engine dies. I disconnect the filter and hear a short sucking sound (vacuum) and when I reconnect, the filter fills up again with bubbles coming up thru the gas tank. What is causing the vacuum to be created (does it also with the gas cap removed).
ANSWER : I would say it is the filter, you can straight line it and see if it does the same with the filter removed, I am pretty sure it won’t. good luck Tim
