I am working on a Ariens RM9030E with a Briggs and Stratton 12.5 hp IC/Quiet engine and I am stumped with the following problem. After sitting overnight the fuel tank will be completey empty and all the fuel will be mixed in with the oil. This happened once when the rear of the lawn mower was elevated so I drained the oil and replaced and sure enough it happened again with the lawnmower flat. A little history on thie rider, it sat outside for 2+ years without being started or touched. I had to drain and replace fuel, clean out carb, and replace spark plug just to get it to start. However it runs fine now after the oil/fuel is replaced. But then it drains back into the oil system overnight. Anyone have an ideas as to what could cause this? Did I mess up something in the carb?
Thanks
