Im having problems with my 18hp vanguard (356447-0079-G1).
It is leaking oil from the breather tube to the carb and air filter, which is causing some bad "misfire/backfire".
Its an almost new motor like 150hrs, so i expect not to be the rings.
I already changed the spark plugs, which didnt help but they looked with lot of carbon built.
Ran the motor with some seafoam in the fuel yesterday to clean it a little bit, hoping it would help.
Maybe was a valve being stucked or some like that.
the motor is runnig a little low in rpms and intermittent. goes up and down like 60 to 100 rpms and is like 100 lower than used to be.
Im planning on cleaning the "breather", the one that connect to the breather tube under the air filter.
Anyone had this problem before? Any tips on where to look.
