" Ryan, you have got a very da

" Ryan, you have got a very dangerous situation, fuel in the sump can ignite, DON'T USE IT (sorry for shouting)until it is fixed. If you have a mechanical fuel pump (on side of engine) it could be faulty allowing fuel into sump. If you havn't got mechanical fuel pump then carburettor is the culprit, have it checked by pros. Running to rich will not allow fuel into sump (it would be using so much fuel the engine would not run). I have seen this problem in cars caused by mechanical fuel pumps with torn diaphram and faulty seal. "
