Sometimes a faulty carburetor causes the problem. I use Kroil spray in the spark plug hole AND in the carburetor intake and flood the parts with it. Pull the cord with the spark plug wire off a couple times and let sit twenty minutes. Hook up wire and pull sharply until it starts. Run and sporadically spray Kroil into the carburetor until it evens out. Kroil is found at kanolabs.com and I recommend the Kreen also...

The typical reason to lose oil into the filer box, is that the engine has been tipped up, this allows engine oil to travel down the breather tube and into the back of the box, the other reasons are, engine worn, or the engine breather itself is faulty.

As LeeatCSEb said, It's your float needle and seat not shutting off the flow of gas when your carb bowl is full. Have your needle and seat replaced. Dwain

SOURCE: Can't find the oil drain plug on Troy Bilt with 5.5 Honda engine

You may want to look under the deck. They sometimes put them there. And if it is a self propelled, you will probably need to remove or loosen the plastic cover that protects the self propelled belt.

You are looking for a nickel sized plug that has a square peg. Use an extension piece for a socket set if you don't have the proper plug removal tool.

The oil minder light will blink for 2 hrs and then reset itself, i believe it starts at 49 and ends at 51 and then every 50 hrs it will do the same.

Why does the oil from my 4-cycle Troy Bilt leaf blower run out through the air filter?

Keep it running and you soon need a new leaf blower. When an engine trows out oil it is just a matter of time till the engine gets hot and stalls. It is not important where the oil is coming from, just let a tech check and repair the blower engine.

Troy-bilt 34322 343220110815 mower will not start

Dump out old gas. Fill with fresh gas. Always use Stabile in gas. Clean or replace park plug and air filter. Check oil level. All mowers have a low oil start cutoff. 30w oil. If any grey in oil moisture contaminated, dump out old oil and refill. Check fuel line for cracks or leaking. Check primer bulb for cracks, replace if required. Clean outside of carb with carb cleaner to ensure easy choke operation. Remove carb bowl from carb, ensure float hangs down freely. float down fuel flow, float up fuel flow stops. Check bowl screw for hole thru bolt, if so clean out hole.

TROY-BILT TB525 EC 4-cycle Gas Trimmer+how to fix oil leak

Troy-bilt cultivator 26cc gas/oil separate engine spewing oil out through filter when running...there is a hose from the oil reservoir straight into the back of the filter...as the engine revs it literally...

Hi, Check the oil reservoir breather that it's not plugged up. The oil should be returning back to the reservoir not going to the filter. That tells me that there is air being pumped into the engine (oil).
The piston rings could be broken or the carberator needs to be readjusted.

Open the air screw abit more on carb. Then see what happens. Good luck.

My troy bilt 4 cycle gas trimmer,is leaking oil behind the air filter from the top and its alot of white smoke coming from my exhaust.whats wrong

Check to see if the oil was overfilled, or maybe stored in a position that allowed the oil to drain to parts that it was not intended.

Troy bilt mower 6.75 hp smoking too much oil

Check oil level, it could be just excess oil. Also check air filter, it may need cleaning/replacing. Depending on how old the nower is, it could be broken rings in the engine, in that case... time for a new mower. hope this helps!

Troy Bilt power washer 020293- Oil in air filter

that is incorrect. if the oil has been over filled, it will saturate the filter element by way of the crankcase breather tube. it is the small plastic pipe that connects to the bottom of the filter housing. check the oil level. these machines take very little oil. approx 20 oz. if overfilled, it will leak out filter.
