John Deere 826 has oil coming out of the carbureter when first starting up.
Original Message   Jan 21, 2010 1:34 pm
I have a John Deere 826 snow blower, and it is about 22 years old. The problem is lately when I first start in up it has oil coming out of the carbuerator for a few minutes then it stops. I have to keep the choke at half to full to keep it running. Any ideas on what the problem is? Thanks for any info. Steve

Have you checked your oil level. It may have been over filled.

I did check that right away, and it is under the top line just a little.

I thought it was coming out of the carb, but now that I took it apart, it looks like it cam from a hose that is in the crankcase.

That hose is the crank case breather vent. It will move some oil out with air being blown from the crank case if there is a bit too much oil in the engine. If it doesn't purge excess oil in short order, you can take a couple oz. out. Check the oil level if you do adjust it. You don't want it to be too low.
