what may be the cause my tractor engine is smoking blue/white smoke being only 18 months old
Thank you for your inquiry. White or blue smoking usually indicates the burning of oil or condensation. Causes to this condition include:
1. Overfilling the crankcase with oil
2. Incorrect oil grade
3. Operating or storing the engine at greater than a 15 degree angle
4. Inoperative crankcase breather
5. Crankcase air leak
6. Blown head gasket
7. Worn cylinder and/or rings
8. Fuel mixing with oil (clean and rebuild the carburetor)
Additional information may also be obtained via the following Answer:
Title: Engine burns oil (white or blue smoke)
http://www.briggsandstratton.com/en...
If this does not improve engine performance, or you are not sure how to perform this repair, I suggest consulting a Briggs and Stratton Authorized Dealer located in your area.

The PowerBuilt™ Series is a value-engineered yet highly functional group of engines. Designed to meet basic riding mower needs, the PowerBuilt™ series features our unique OHV (OverHead Valve) technology along with a simple-to-maintain design, creating a more durable, longer lasting engine.
Where is the serial number located on this engine?
I have looked and looked but so far, no joy.
You need the engine's STAMPED model, type, and code numbers, which is what the class action suit is referring to as the engine ID. Please make sure you have it in the following format: xxxxxx-xxxx-xx xxxxxxxx (model-type-trim code)
All of our engines have these numbers STAMPED, primarily by the Spark plug, muffler heat shield, rewind/blower housing or on the OHV cover (if equipped). Although some of our engines may also have a UPC barcode label, it's always best to use the STAMPED numbers as your primary source.
Keep in mind that the numbers that begin with the statement "Family:xxxxxxxx" are not the engine numbers, but rather come from the federal emissions label. You need to look for a series of STAMPED engine numbers.
For more information on locating the numbers, please view the following FAQ:
Title: Model, Type, and Code on OHV engines powering generators

675 series runs rough untill fuel level low
The problems you are having sound like symptoms of a dirty carb, I recommend removing the carb from the unit to clean it. Before removing the carburetor I strongly recommend that you take a few digital pictures of how the springs and linkage are re-connected. Once removed, make sure you clean all the small internal passageways. You will also want to make sure that you clean out the nut that holds the float bowl onto your carburetor, this nut is the main jet for your engine.
You will also need to remove the fuel bowl on the base of the unit. Once it is removed make sure you clean the inlet needle and the main jet of the carb. I would also recommend running some Briggs and Stratton fresh start fuel stabilizer (mixed with the recommended ratio of gasoline) through it to clean it out whatever you may have missed in the initial cleaning.
Perform these tests and let me know back with an update if you need further help.

How to remove a cover on a snowblower model 21M114
How to take off the cover were the choke is and primer on a snowblower model 21M114 because the only way I can start my snowblower is with the choke on and I have to keep pressing on the primer to keep the motor running.
The cover that you are referring to is held on by two or three screws, you will also need to remove the choke knob from the engine to be able to get the cover off. The issue that you are having with your unit is most likely going to be due to a blockage in the carburetor. If you still cannot get the cover off feel free to respond back.

When starting engine starter motor turns but not the engine
I would recommend that you first check to see if the starter gear is meshing into the flywheel. You will also want to check the condition of the starter gear. The issue that you are having may be due to a stripped out gear. A local dealer will be able to get you the parts that you are after.

The 450 Series™ is an entry-level family of engines. Compact, lightweight, and simple to operate, these engines provide dependable power at an exceptional value.
Does 450 series push mower have a throttle control?
I ask this question as I own this mower and its seems to have throttle control fitted (marked "J" in the manual) but not attached to any spring or wire. I am having a few problems with mower cutting out and wonder if this is the problem. I have owned the mower for 4 months and used it about 10 times . As you can probably tell I am no mechanic!
The engine that you have will most likely not have a throttle control. Many of the engine that are on push mowers have a preset running speed. The pre-set throttle control will look very similar to the adjustable style. If you are having running issue with the unit I would recommend that you have an authorized dealer take a look at the unit.

The 1650 Series™ is designed to meet the needs of heavy-duty equipment. These engines utilize Overhead Valve (OHV) technology, causing them to run cooler and last longer, all while delivering more power and exceptional performance.
At what RPM does the engine produce the stated torque?
I was looking at the DR Power Equipment web site for wood chippers. There they state that the 30.00 Pro-XL model comes with an engine producing 18 HP and 30.00 ft. lbs. torque, I would like to know at what RPM is the power and torque developed?
Engine Power Rating Information
The gross power rating for individual gas engine models is labeled in accordance with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure), and rating performance has been obtained and corrected in accordance with SAE J1995 (Revision 2002-05). Torque values are derived at 3060 RPM; horsepower values are derived at 3600 RPM. Actual gross engine power will be lower and is affected by, among other things, ambient operating conditions and engine-to-engine variability. Given both the wide array of products on which engines are placed and the variety of environmental issues applicable to operating the equipment, the gas engine will not develop the rated gross power when used in a given piece of power equipment (actual "on-site" or net horsepower). This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, accessories (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc.), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this Series engine.
