Re: B&S 18hp engine blowing white smoke on startup and shut down

Take the breather off, clean it with like spray carb cleaner. On the inside
(backside) check to see if the disc has a space of about .045 between the disc and the body. (This info is from an old BS service book)

But yes, a bad breather can cause smoking. The engine needs a vacuum in the crank case.

Let us know.
