If the engine is four-cycle, the valve seals may be worn, causing a small amount of oil to seep into the piston cylinder or combustion chamber. If it is two-cycle, the oil/fuel mix may have a little too much oil.

Briggs and Stratton Vanguard Engine 18HP Model 350777 Type 1113-E1 Code 98111811 is not running normally. It is emitting black smoke out of the exhaust and has no power. What is wrong with the engine?
Try cleaning or replacing the air cleaner. A clogged air clearner will make the engine run rich (like having the choke on). The rich mixture will cause the blackish smoke. The fileter may not even look very dirty, but the element can still be plugged and cause a problem similar to what you describe.

What will cause a muffler to glow red immediatly after starting the engine on an 18 hp Briggs and stratton?
One of the cylinders is probably not firing. Try pulling a each plug wire alternately while the engine is running. One of them probably won't make any difference and the other will probably kill the engine. The one that does not make any difference is the one that is causing the trouble. You will have to find out why it is not firing. What is happening is the cylinder that is not firing is letting the gas flow through the cylinder and into the exhaust where it is igniting in the muffler.

There is restriction of fuel flow somewhere. Look for a clogged fuel filter, a pinched fuel line, or debris in the fuel tank. Otherwise, the carburetor needs to be re-set.
