your running rich, or cranking and not getting her to start. Change the oil.

If you flood the engine badly this can wash the rings down and cause it to let gas by the rings and into the crankcase. Definitly want to change your oil pronto!

RandyZ

Well runing rich would that be the carbs falt ?how do i fix it? ilol change oil to night i have the carb ajusted to the highest vacuum.thats the right way right ,

If your oil had gas in it, change your oil. Gasoline does not lubricate

RandyZ

So if i chande the oil that will get rid of the gas and oil prob.Or is that going to come back.Is this a carb prob.or timing.

had the same problem not too long ago..its the fuel pump.. oh dont walk away when you drain the oil with all that gas in it.. i did.. emptied half onto my street :P

I just tore a friends motor down since he was running it to rich and got a lil gas mixed with oil and it distroyed his rod bearings.... Bad news! Have you flooded it a lot? What do the plugs look like?

RandyZ

I had this happen and as mentioned earlier, the fuel pump diaphram leaked and dumped gas into the oil pan. You might want to check that out. I had one case of this and it actually filled the crankcase to over full and hydrolocked the car. It would not crank as the pan was absolutely filled with oil to the point that the starter would not turn the engine over. I've never seen one this bad before this, but it happened to me!

Good luck!

What kind of induction do you have?

RandyZ

holly 4b 600cfm mec sec dubble pumper ,torker2 intake that car screws with this set up and no prob going in any gear but pings when im at the bottom of my tank a little and the car idles funny

izcain

Well do the basics first.... Check your float level since if you have it to high it will leak into the intake, Also check timing as your pinging thing concerns me. Are you running a mechanical pump or an electric pump? Regulated or non

RandyZ

running a holly blue ele fuel pump and holly reg at 7 psi

izcain

You have a fuel gauge on there then? I would do those checks and then see what you came up with....

from what iv heard, if its a stick and you kill it, it can shove gas down in thier too, i may not be making sense, but in my moms 02 civic, the oil light came on, b/c the oil was 2 thin, and it happened after i tried to teach my g/f to drive it and she killed it 19893458 times, and someone told me it backfired gas into the oil.

RandyZ

Well changed the oil and i will have the results tommoro .Hopfully everything goes well.I never heard any sounds out of the engine .Im going to check the float bowls tommoro
