Carb and Burning oil

Enter a word or two to search the forum section and click the Search Forum button.

Hi there new to the web site and hoping someone might be able to help.

Iv got a Suffolk super punch 17" mower at the moment but been having some trouble with the carb I cant seem to get it to stay on tick over with out the choke. In conjunction with this its seems to be burning oil, i have re seated the valves I can only assume the oil is being pulled up past the piston is this a common thing or am I looking in the wrong area.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

The 'Suffolk super punch' name has been used on numerous machines, so I think we are going to need a photo to identify just what you have.
