Check the rubber boot's that go to the carb's. It's a pretty common proplem.

Milky oil means water in the oil. Might have blown a head gasket. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

My votes a blown headgasket...good news is it's pretty easy to fix, and usually you haven't damaged the engine.

You have to remove the head from the cylinder and replace the gasket. I'd get a service manual to do this or pay a mechanic if your not comfortable with doing it.

Yes, buy a Predator. That way the next time something breaks down you're already used to pushing something back to the staging area...and being laughed at doesn't bother you because you have been pushing one of the ugliest machines ever made.
