Gasoline in crankcase
I have a Ariens riding mower with a V-2 656 cc 20 HP twintek engine and this morning I discovered that my crankcase was full of gasoline when I checked the oil. The oil level was way too high and I thought that I may have been sloppy putting oil in the engine. But then I realized that the oil was as fluid as water and it smelled like gas. i did not notice any problems 3 weeks ago when I used the mower last. How did that much gas get into the crankcase and the engine still running great the last time I used it
