Good day, all. I have a long shaft Tohatsu 8HP 4 stroke that I use as a kicker on my center console. The other day it started acting funny so I checked the oil and found it to have gas in it.
Drained the oil, filled it with new and put in new plugs while I was at it. Started great and ran fine. After running great for a few hours today, I found it to have gas in the oil again.
I surmise that if it were a stuck float in the carb, it would start flooding and run like garbage.
My suspicion is that the fuel pump is leaking gas into the crank case.
Anyone have this happen or can provide any guidance?
