I have 3 riding mowers that have some gas in the oil.
They have sat over the winter and now the oil level is about 1" higher on the stick and smells of gas.
All are gravity fed from the fuel tank.
All have the Nikki carb on them with the fuel cutoff in the bowl.
2 Kohler 19 hp. and 1 Briggs 20 hp.
Anyone else seeing this?
I think the fuel cutoff is leaking over time and with south Georgia heat coupled with the pressure sealed tanks gas is being pushed into the motor.
