Very likely the diaphragm in the fuel pump has ruptured allowing fuel to
flow into the crankcase.

Joe

P.S. are you watching the USC/OSU game?

Just checked my oil.
Looked real thin, smells of gas.
Carb floats are not stuck open.
Is this a fuel pump thing?
Please refresh me.
After I change the pump, I obviously need to change the oil and filter.  Can
I
just refill with oil and restart?

Contact me off list since I am on digest version.

Thanks
