This is my wife's mower she got in 05. It's a husqvarna LT1538 I use it to mow the fenced in yard some, when I don't use my 1211. Let this be warning not to over do it with gum out carb and injector cleaner! It sat last year for a few months and the gas went bad. I emptied the old gas put new in and it ran , but surged. So I put about half a bottle of gum out injector and carb cleaner in it with about half a gallon of gas. Ran it a few times still wanted to surge so was planing on removing the crab to clean it and hadn't got to it yet. Decidedly to mow with it yesterday and was about done when she acted up and blew out a giant cloud of blueish white smoke and that was it! Drove back to the garage and still was surging off and on. Looked in the intake has oil coming from the crankcase breather. Unhooked the spark plug and cranked on it and she's blowing oil out the dipstick, so I'd say blown head gasket. Something new for me, never worked on a ohv mower engine.
