Question Gas in the oil

Greetings,
My 682 has pumped gas into the oil for the second time. First time was about a month ago , I plowed my garden, turned the machine off and the next day when I went to start it ,discovered the oil in the gas. Second time , last night I was mowing and it wouldn't run unless the choke was pulled halfway .It stalled on me and I checked the oil and it was full of gas again. Anyone have an ideal why it's doing this ?

Probably the fuel pump or float in the carb is causing the issue.

It's most likely the fuel pump going bad and allowing gas to leak into the crankcase, could also be the float sticking in the carb.

Don't worry,
a few more times and it will throw a connecting rod because of no lubrication and your problem will be over.
So you have a choice:
Replace the fuel pump and needle/seat in the carb now, or the complete engine
later ( but not much later)

I picked up a pump for around $40, can't remember right now where I got it. Guy said it was made by whomever is making the ones for Kohler. So far so good. If you haven't already, I'd add an inline filter and change out all the fuel hoses as well as wash out the fuel tank, in case debris is getting in the carb causing the needle not to seal. Toss in a new needle and seat and you should be good to go after an oil change.

Ever mag that I have and plan to keep gets a Facet fuel pump. Cheaper than a Kohler pump and no more chances of ruining a engine because of a fuel pump going bad. I got my last 2 from David Kirk engines. He had the best price.

Don't you think that after the first time you should have tried to figure it out?
That's not normal behavior for an engine.
I'm with cubdieselfan, I put electric pumps in.

I'm just thinkin' out load so bear with me and guide me but.....
I didn't know fuel would pass through the fuel pump without the engine running
but ya learn more every day....
so anyways I'm still thinkin' and I say to myself
"Self, since them guys seem to know what you didn't,
which is that fuel will flow through the fuel pump whether the engine be running or not,"
"Self, why are some of them guys tellen' that guy his fuel pump is bad?"
"cause if it's supposed to stop the fuel,
why don't they call it a fuel "valve" instead of a fuel "pump"?
Then I'm thinkin some more and I say....
"Self, ain't the needle and float in the carb supposed to stop the fuel
regardless of whether the fuel pump is a fuel pump or a fuel valve?"
So why are some of them guys tellen that guy to replace his fuel pump....
er, I mean fuel valve, ...I mean pump valve, ......I mean....
Never mind no more thinkin' except "do I want my Crown Royal on ice
or straight??

My guess is possibly the pump diaphragm is leaking, that would be why it is suspected I suppose--I had that to happen on a farm tractor once. Needle valve, self explanatory. All new fuel line, new pump, carb kit, should be less than $90 with shipping(cost me less than that this past winter)--then all the items known to deteriorate are new--on a 35 year old lawn mower--who knows, some of the components may be that old. Come to think of it, I'd replace the tank grommet while I had the tank out giving it a bath. But then again that's just the way I work, try to cover all the potential problems at once if I can because I'm too tight to see it happen again and waste another $12 worth of oil (I Like that Low-Ash Case-IH oil). Seeing how this is kind of a weird problem, I'd check to see if the float was full of gas, or the lever for the needle was somehow damaged---before I ordered a kit.

Of course this IS a 682 and along with its 782 buddy, they were known to pull this stunt when they were still under factory warranty.

To explain the fuel pump issue, the diaphragm has a side exposed to the fuel.
The other side is exposed to the crankcase where the actuator lever rides on the camshaft.
When A diaphragm wears out and ruptures, of just becomes thin, it leaks, and fuel goes right through as if it was a screen,--- Walla you have fuel in the crankcase.
As far as fuel passing through a fuel pump when it is not operating:
the valves are one way from tank to carb but they do not always shut off completely and dribble a bit so you can get a small seepage of fuel past them.
it is just the nature of things.
A ginn-ewe-wine Kohler needle and seat & bowel gasket's are $5.80 + ship

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
