Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): B&S, crankcase breather, breather vent

Question
I have a B&S Model 28N707 Type 0173-01 Code 96051-13ZD
It blows smoke under load and has oil in the air filter area, I assume its coming through the breather tube. What do you think is causing this and how should I go about repairing it?

Answer
Hello Greg:

>>From your Description it Sounds like the Crankcase is Overfilled with Oil, the Crankcase Breather/Vent Requires Cleaning or Replacing or the Head Gasket is Blown between the Cylinder and the Push Tube Galley.
>>You can View a Breakdown/IPL of this Engine at this Site Addy, http://www.smallenginepartswarehouse.com/parts.asp and Select the Shop Online Parts Look Up. Then Select the Model Tab. Then Select the OEM and Enter the Model (5 or 6 Digits) and Type Numbers (first 4 digits Only). Example: XXXXXX-XXXX. Then Double Click on the Model in the Results Area. Select Sectional Index. Now you can Select the Section of the Engine you Wish to View.
