Gas in oil, Help

I started my 8n yesterday, only to have it not want to start. Turned over fine, just wouldn't fire. Checked the tank, out of fuel. Went and got some gas for it. Tried restarting, after many cranks it started to sputter, then came to life with high revs and fuel started spraying everywhere. I shut her back down. Seems I have an oil pan full of gasoline. So, it seems as though I forgot to shut off the fuel, it leaked by the needle and seat in the carb, filled the manifold, and finally went into the engine. Does this seem to be a logical conclusion? Also, would an oil change and carb kit be all that I need before I fire it up again? Thanks for the help, Andy.

Thanks guys. I'll get the oil changed and primed this weekend and give it a shot.

My guess is that is exactly what happened, or you have a bad sediment bowl valve and it leaked dispite your turning it off. (I'll rule out your grandkids pouring the gas can in the oil intake; that happened to my neighbor w/ his lawn mower!) I don't think you need a carb kit unless you think its time for a rebuild or just want to do it while the carb is pulled down. A seat and needle valve should do it; check the float for leaks and use a 1/4 drill bit to set the float drop. By all means an oil change is in order! Lastly, get a 5 gallon bucket, remove the fuel line from the carb and stick it over the bucket. Make sure the gas is turned off; check the bucket for gas in a few hours to see if you had a leaky valve, or if you just did forget to turn it off! Lastly, consider yourself lucky that you didn't get a hydraulic lock when you started the engine.

Pretty much, drain it good but be sure to prime it with oil good by cranking it over some befor putting power to the coil to make sure you got good oil on the bearings. Just to be on the safe side. Mark H.
