Thread: Oil/gas mix out

Tweet

My buddy said hes having a problem on his new v8 swap with oil/gas mix com,ing out of his exhaust.. He said there no antifreeze coming out but oil/gs.. could this be a valve adjustment problem or carb problem or what??

Not smokin at all.. just wet droppings

just wet droppings

Tailpipe carbon and water condensate?

it looks like oil and gas.and smells like it too.

well i checked the dipstick and it smellt like gas so i say there is gas in the oil. then i checked the #1 plug and it was black so what do i do now lol?

As I recall - the last time this subject came up - it was a stuck carb float that was overflowing into the crankcase.

Not sure about the tailpipe drip?

A ruptured fuel pump diaphram can also put gas in the oil.

generally its low to no compression on a cylinder, bad pump diaphragm or a way overly rich condition

see i was thinkin a way overly rich condition.. How do i fix that?

We haven't heard which carb it is....Holley? if so, check power valve and gasket that seats the power valve. Denny said change the oil...definitely! runa good trustworthy grade and weight. All these previous posts will head you in the right direction.

yup.... oil will break down super fast with gas in it and your friends bearings will get chewed up fast.....

Yea its a holley..Im runnin a 10w30 right now u think i should bump it to a 40?

why? a 40 just means its thicker at cold temps.... meaning when the engine is cold its gonna be harder to get that oil flowing to the bearings.... leave it at a 10-30.... check the power valve on the carb also the float, make sure theres jets in there...... check your fuel pump as well make sure theres no tearing in the diaphram

you dont think this could have anything to do with the electric choke being unhooked do u?

Well my electric choke isnt hooked up... How in the world could my elctric choke not being hooked up cause this? And how do i hook my choke up please help..
