They are shipped with out oil in the crank case . If you didn't top it off it was running dry . I agree with Trout Slayer don't buy the B&S . I have one and it is very loud and vibrates very bad . You have to hang on the the tiller all the time or it won't run straight . The one good thing about this motor , it will run for days on 3 gallons of gas .
