We check out a Craftsman M210 lawn mower with Broggs and Stratton 140cc engine.
The oil filter is soaked with oil which sometimes can be a symptom of the mower being tipped with the air filter down instead of the dipstick down.
That is not the case here as we quickly find out and the reed valve for the breather will need replaced.
We show the full repair process to get your mower back up and running and stop it from smoking or dripping oil out the intake.
Craftsman 12A-A15W793 lawn mower will not start and has oil in the air filter.

Nice if your gonna do a video explain what your doing, I mean silent, is good too for those who can look and copy, but I liked how you explained everything simplified it, keep it simple thanks.
I appreciate that, thanks for watching
Best vid I've seen showing how to do this. I appreciate you making clear all the parts you used as well as the each size of tool that was used. I've got a lawn mower with that exact issue. Called around to get some quotes and was told it was $85/hr for labor ($45 to do a diagnosis that would be rolled into the overall repair if I got it done there) + parts. Potential cost would've been close to half of what I paid for the mower. With your vid, I'm confident I could at least tackle it myself and then utilize the repair shop if I needed to.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for a very informative and instructional video. I've been messing around with small engines for a short while and had no idea they had vents like this.
It is interesting, this design. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, great video. I’m familiar with the vent, but like your technique. I also like seeing different models. Take care.
Thanks for watching Steve!!
Excellent instructions!
Thank you!
I had a Sears push mower several years ago. It was the most expensive mower I had ever owned. It kept giving me problems until I gave up on it.
Sometimes you just have to cut your loses and move on! Thanks for watching!
Briggs & Stratton just never can leave well enough alone !!! All the gimmicky changes since 1980. Nobody has reinvented the carburetor so many times lol
Can't keep making an engine that everyone has parts sitting around for so they can use those or the aftermarket that knocked them off. Make a new one and it takes the aftermarket companies a while to start making parts
Good one. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
I never though a lawnmower would have a reed on top .
Crazy design it is!!
MAN ..THE FIRST TIME U SHOT THAT AIR ..LOL i have u playin in the background whilst listing on ebay ... SPEAKERS R UP CAUSE AIR IS RITE BEHND ME .... LMAO
Haha jump scares going now I guess
No torque wrench on those tiny bolts. You are brave. Putting the dipstick tube back in the engine will keep garbage out of the oil, particularly if you're blowing trash off of the engine. Briggs engines without an oil filter, needs as much help keeping the oil clean as they can get.
None of the bolts installed need a torque wrench unless you want to torque down the reed bolt to spec, which is unnecessary. Keeping garbage out is easy if you take precautions or blow debris out in a safe direction away from an open engine. Thanks for watching!
I've changed my reed valve already, and it's still leaking oil out of the breather tube. Any ideas? Mower is only a couple of years old.
If oil level and weight are correct it has to be a partially sheared flywheel key or worn piston/cylinder
I did this to my mower, oil level is correct, doesn’t smoke and starts easy. But there is still oil coming out of the breather. What would you recommend next
Check the flywheel key, I have seen a partially sheared flywheel key cause this a few different times. Timing will be off and intake valve opens before it should. Still may start and run like it should. Could also be the engine is at the end of its life letting pressure past rings
Mines doing that even after the reed replacement
I don't see it often but sometimes a valve not seating properly will pressurize the crankcase and cause this issue. The oil level is correct?
Great video! I have done this processed and it helped but its still leaking oil.
What do you recommend?
Thanks!
Is it coming from the front valve cover then? The oil level is not too high?
@@IndRepair The oil is wetting the oil filter from the bottom portion and not the top of the oil filter. I did add engine oil at the time I replaced the breather reed. I need to check the oil levels again. Though it leaks oil I've mowed the lawn a few times but sometimes the engine sounds weak. I adjusted the valves before installing the breather reed and it made it way better at the time.
Definitely check oil level
Coil to flywheel, is .006. Business card, is .008. But, I use a business card.😄
If all else fails had someone here tell me they use a pop can haha seems about right!!
hello. What is the name of the part you changed? And what type of glue do you use?
You can find the Reed valve for the breather at amzn.to/3Qv7f2Y
Permatex ultra grey
Is there a difference between the carburetor for the M210 and the M110 carburetor as one has a primer bulb (the M210) and the other one does not. What is the difference? Thanks.
The controls on the carburetor are slightly different. One has a choke and springs but the primer version does not
Are those different carburetors interchangeable?
If you move the parts over yes, few differences
I’m having the same ish problem but it’s milky colour like gas is getting into the oil but I don’t really care because it’s a junk mower
For sure!
What if it's not smoking or running rough just pouring oil though the air filter?
Could be a partially sheared flywheel key, stuck valve or the issue shown here. Sometimes things present differently depending on the situation/mower
Thank u the air filter was soaked at the bottom of filter I went bought a new filter thinking it was from mowing the ditch in front yard to much leaning thanks for explaining everything you doing
@@michaelneal1223 Glad to help!
Fly wheel key has nothing to do with any of this
If timing is off can cause an issue like this
you said if oil is silvery do what
Silver is a sign of major engine wear. Is it still running? Change the oil at the very least
I MISS MY JOB 😔
I hear that one!
