This is what was used the last time, but I just discovered on the oil bottle that it's not for OHV engines. Could that be part of the issues here as well? Sounds like the store here have SAE10W30 for the OHV engines. But I didn't buy this originally because I wanted SAE-30 like it was specified on the engine... Looks like I had non-OHV engine oil in a OHV engine... And gas got mixed with that oil because of a bad carburator... Not good. | |

If, before you change the carb, you could clean everything thoroughly and see where everything is happening at. This could tell you if the head gasket is leaking, but really, the head gasket would be leaking compression, not a fuel/oil mixture. You may have a valve cover leakage, which is completely different than the head gasket (and a lot easier to replace). Until you know exactly, it's good not to throw parts at it. Again, you've got the carb coming, so replace it. I'll bet it cures your ills. | |
| May 10, 2019 at 19:34 | comment | added | Eric | My first thing I wanted to replace is effectively the carburator. Since the fuel pump was like 20$ I ordered it at the same time as well. Having oil under the air filter raised a concern, I'm under the impression I might also have a bad head gasket. | |
