****I HAVE YET TO GO LOOK AT THIS BIKE*****
my buddy tells me his SV reaks of gas. then he tells me the airbox has oil in it. i tell him to take off the oil fill and see if it smells like gas. he says it does. i understand how this happens. the floats stick and dump gas down the cylinders and it ends up in the crankcase. what i dont get is how this happens since the bike has a vacuum petcock. the amount of gas in the float bowls shouldnt be enough to fill the crankcase enough to have oil carryover to the airbox. unless of course this has been happening for a while.
any ideas of what i should be looking into? im heading over after work today to scope it out.
