the 417-8 is new. To me, threw a set of points in, greased it, changed the oil. The 48’ was thrown on there and i was about to mow…. And the was oil smoke coming from the muffler!

Oil Pressure switch (sending unit) has failed.  Happened on My M-18 once .  Messy but cheap to replace

 It is probably the housing of the unit that cracked.  Take it out and put in a pipe plug
