Hello,
I've been Google searching this group and
it seems the two likely reasons for gas in the
oil are either leaky diaphram in oil pump, or
leaking bowl in the carburetor.

So what sayeth ye experts?
Of the two, which would be the more likely.

I'm thinking I should start with the fuel pump.
Am I right?

Thanks

Aaarrgghhh!!! That's what I meant to say,
"fuel pump."

: The FUEL pump. It's easy to pull, too.


Thanks, I'm going to get a new one tomorrow
even though I haven't pulled and verified the old
one to be bad. I reckon that even if the old one
is still good, it's old enough to where it could be
on the verge of failing anyway.

Thanks again

I concur, you have a problem. If you don't fix it soon, you'll have a very
serious problem. Gas destroys the lubricative properties of oil, and you may
as well fill the crank case with water and drive it around.
