Ok,94 quadrunner ltf250,2 wd,Runs great but noticed while checking oil before a ride other day site glass was overfull.Drained oil and it smelled like gas some,not much but some.Checked gas tank and if any was gone just a bit mabee.Is this a carb problem or anyone have ideas on a fix?I,m not a mechanic but have plenty of tools.Thanks in advance for any info.Paul

 

anybody?

 

Sometime when you flood the quad on starting the gas will get in the crankcase but it won't hurt anything

 

I had a motorcycle where the float valve failed, and it would overflow the float bowl and let gas run into the intake manifold, where it would seep past the rings and into the crankcase.

Enough gas in the oil to notably raise the oil level would be a problem...

 

turn the ptcock off when your done riding problem solved

 

yeah if you have gas in your oil then your rings are leaking. Did you buy the quad new or used?

 

Bought it used several years ago,like i said it runs great no smoke at all ,I havent been using it since i noticed this.Carb rebuild mabee?Thanks ,Paul

 

anybody else with a cure?

 

turn off the gas when ever you end your ride for the and more importantly - turn it off when ever you transport it. It will bounce around and let the gas gravity feed into the cylinder and leak into the crank case. Also temp changes in the gas tank will contract and expand the air and gas forcing it past the carb into the cyl. just turn off the gas when you arent using it. I even let it run a few minutes with the gas turned off before I shut it down. gets some gas out the gas lines

It doesnt mean your rings are not sealing at all.

Mine did this on a brand new quad - I was told to turn off the gas and it went away
