Re: burning or loosing oil Better ask mudbuddy, if you can use it as an anchor and if they will send you your money back, so you can buy another kind

Re: burning or loosing oil With only 22 hours, it should be the one who sold it that is responsible for it. I know if my new Gatortail which has a B&S on it will be taken care of by Gatortail, but we all know that

Re: burning or loosing oil Contact your dealer or whoever you bought the motor from. You have a major problem if it is using that much oil. If no dealer, definitely call MudBuddy. All of these engines are air cooled, you need to check oil before every ride.

Re: burning or loosing oil If you bring it back to the MFR. they will get with briggs since it is a briggs issue. I had cam fail in my stock powerhead on my gtr. It was tken to Gator tail for the labor part of the warranty, but they had to go through Briggs for the parts (IE shortblock)

Re: burning or loosing oil I have had two Motors in 2 years new and neither of them burned any oil at all. No it is not normal.
