I been working on a Craftsman 18 hp riding mower and need a little advice. The BS engine seems to be weak for it size.It cranks easy but doesn't pulll or rev up well. Starting the mower tends to weaken it. Pull the plugs and they are black in color..... ....Could it be running too rich?
The motor was just rebuilt 2 yrs ago. Could it be shot again?..... ..... TIA Hankd

Chech the air filter. I had an 18 hp Briggs a while back that did the same thing. Ck'd the carb and ign, nothing wrong, air filter looked good but replaced it anyway, and end of problem.

Sounds like it may be running to rich. Plugs should be a sort of brown color after running for a while, but it could also be oil, most of those B.S. engines where not made to last a long time
