Question
Good day.
The B&S engine mounted on a Coleman generator leaks oil from what appears to be the throttle lever pivot point which is part of the engine housing. What is the best fix for this?

Thank you

Answer
this is hard to determine without finding out exactly where the oil is coming from. but could just be something simple such as oil was spilled while filling it , the machine was tipped on its side, ect. if its a small leak wipe everything clean check the oil level and run it to see if the problem repeats itself. if it does you may have to remove some cowling to see exactly where its coming from.
