help!! fuel in my oil
I was changing the oil yesterday and I pulled out around 8L of oil. After inspecting the old oil, I realized it had fuel in it. How did it get in the oil? Its a 97 baja hammer 454/300 carbed w/mechanical fuel pump.

Fuel pump diaphragm leaking. Sort of surprising though, I thought that was what the "puke" tube on a marine fuel pump was supposed to prevent ? I thought that when the diaphragm broke, the tube was supposed to pump the excess fuel to the carb, making it run terrrible or maybe even stalling it and calling attention to the problem.

My motor was running too rich and was blowing fuel past the rings......as it got worse, it would get even worse!!!! (but mine are EFI, worn rings is a more likely problem)

About 120hrs on the boat. I do not use it much. I pulled the carb off and there is alot of fuel in the intake. The carb is definatly leaking into the manifold. I did make the mistake off letting this boat sit for around six months w/o starting.
