    Foaming oil P-YB in my Ariens 7hp Techumpseh

    If it was me and the manufacturer said not to use a specific grade of oil, then I wouldn't use that grade. The other thing that might be going on is that you may have overfilled the crankcase. That can definitely cause foaming.

I'd but some decent oil in it and run it for a couple of more hours and have another look at it. BTW, there are some very pale motor oils on the market today. The...
