Checked 429â€™s oil after solving antifreeze problem, the fresh oil (200 miles) stinks like gasoline.

Advise please.

Thanks,

Pat

Fuel pump diaphragm is leaking?

First place to check is the fuel pump - the diaphragm may be bad and allowing fuel to pass into the engine. Next will be carb problems.

Requires a new fuel pump?
