There she blows!

0:42 for the money shot. It turned out that the owner had overfilled the oil by about 750ml. After draining the excess oil and cleaning the air filter out it ran well again.

Bingo! The owner had put about 750ml of excess oil in. I had to rinse the air filter out but it runs fine now. I left a 500ml bottle of Ribina filled with oil on the mower for them to find lol.

Thanks, I'll have a look later. The level appeared ok on the dipstick.

Remove old head gasket. Clean gasket area. Use a thin film of JB Weld in the leak prone area only on the new head gasket. A thin film on both sides of the gasket here. Let the JB Weld glue the gasket to the block and head. Torque with a torque wrench to Brigg's specs. Problem solved. JB Weld can me removed with a heat gun if you have to remove later. This issue is caused from insufficient head bolts in the gasket failure area.

Clearly too much oil in it following back through the breather. If the head gasket leaked it wouldn't start at all
