    It's like this, fuel tank > fuel line to carb > carb inlet to needle valve & seat attached to a float inside the carb, fuel inlet amount is controlled on/off by the small float attached to the needle valve/seat, the constant bouncing is causing the needle to open when it shouldn't be, thus causing the cylinder to fill with gasoline, which then washes down the cylinder walls into the oil in the engine base.

    Real simple fix, again, install a fuel shutoff between the tank & carb, shut off the fuel to the carb when not in use, problem solved. Don't run it with contaminated oil, it will cause premature wear, and don't overfill it.

    OK boys, back to work, lunch's over.....

    He'll sell it, quit, decide to stay and buy 3 more before any premature wear would ever affect anyone.

    Hell someone fudged up on my delivery and I can’t deliver until 10 tonight at Home Depot which means no weekend load, so once this mf in front of me gets unloaded and I drift into 10 spots and ride like Paul Revere to the nearest gas station I’ll try it out and report back :biggrin_25523:

    Hey! That was pretty low man; keys are in the ignition, let’s see how long a more competent driver lasts at Western! :D “You want me to try to deliver even though I’m missing my entire left steer tire and some other Western driver stole my dog?”
