Re: Gas in the oil!!


I too have had issues in the past with the same setup.
I rebuild my fuel tap every 2 tears just to be safe.
2 things have to fail in order for gas to flow freely. One is the tap itself. If the diaphram fails to re-seat it will allow the fuel to flow. Your floats have to be stuck open to allow gas to keep flowing. If the tap fails and a float fails then you will get fuel running amuck.

Get a fuel save jar, disconnect your fuel line at the carbs and test the operation of the tap to be sure.
