I have a JD rear engine rider with 13 hp Briggs engine that I use for triming. I bought it new in 03 and haven't used it much. The other day it started to miss and the plug was fowled. I cleaned the plug until I could get another. Yesterday it started and in about 5 minutes it started missing again. I checked the air cleaner and it was gas/oil soaked. I started it while the air cleaner was off and gas/oil shot out the opening as if it was under pressure. Is the problem a valve, broken ring or what? Thanks for any help.
