Have no idea how long it has been since this old L Head B&S has been run. No fire, points were junk so went with the new armature CDI system. Got fire. Bench ran the engine a bit, ran good. Put it in the GT, ran it a couple 3 times for a min or two. This morning started it up to verify I had the wiring tight and it started smoking heavy. Was hard to start too. Had give it s hot of gas in the carb and it fired right off then. Now I have a bunch of oil in the base of the filter housing. Oil level is right on the full mark with fresh 30W oil. Never ran into this before so not sure where to start looking for the problem. Any/all suggestions welcome and appreciated.
