But whatever you do, drain that oil/gas asap! Gas in the cylinders/crankcase is bad bad bad for a machine.
Good luck!  |
Ryan is right. If your still getting gas in the crankcase then it may be the fuel pump. HOWEVER, that doesn't explain the gas coming out of the exhaust. I had a fuel pump one time that was starting to disintegrate. Kept plugging the needle valve in the carb and flooding the motor. My 682 just did the same thing. I ordered a carb kit and a fuel pump for mine. I don't like to tear things apart twice.
