New vanguard smokes
Just installed a new B&S 18hp vanguard in my ST480. Fired it up and it smokes pretty bad. Real bad for a new one. These smoke is mostly blue in color. Motor distributor said to take it to an authorized B&S shop and get it repaired. Not what I wanted to hear. Any ideas?

Re: New vanguard smokes
It's usually not a good way to resolve your issue if you ask a question, hang out watching your thread for over 1/2 hour,(after it has been responded to within the first 4 minutes) and then disappear. If you want answers, you need to stick around, or at least respond. I guess some people just don't like it when it is me answering their questions.

Was the muffler previously run on the ST480? |

Re: New vanguard smokes
Yes, the muffler is on its third motor.

Re: New vanguard smokes
Put the rear up on blocks(or remove the belt) and run the motor at about 2500rpm for 4 minutes. See if that clears it out. Check for proper oil level before doing this.
