I have a Snapper mower with a 10 HP Briggs and Stratton engine, after running for a short time the engine stalls because oil is getting into the carb thru the breather tube, it is blowing a lot of oil thru the breather tube. Any idea what would cause this?

Why engine rpm surges

Dirty air inlet in carb. Remove carb and clean. Also run a fuel clean like sea foam in gas tank to help with any water or bad fuel that might be in the tank.

3.5 hp Briggs & Stratton won't run unless I pour gas into carb

This sounds like a problem with the suction. If the air filter is clean then it will need new carb gaskets. There may also be an issue with the pressure being created by the engine.

I need to find free diagram for linkage hookup on a 10 HP Briggs & Stratton Snapper riding lawnmower

I would go to mytractorforum.com, click on the word 'forum' just to the right of the tractor wheel, and scroll down to the small engines and repair section. Inside 'stickies' is a directory of B&S service manuals.
