    Oil smells of Gas???

    Hi,
    I am a concerned because my oil smells of gas and there is also a clanking noise coming from one of the cylinders i think it might not be lubricating properly.What do you think i should do.
    Thanks,
    Jo

        might drain a bit of oil to see if, in fact, there is fuel in the oil. If there is I would suspect a leaky petcock, that would fill up the carbs and the cylinders and leak down into the oil. is it tough to start... like its flooded? does it use an excessive amount of fuel?

        the only reason I say this is because my old ninja did that exact thing.

            not sure how to test the petcock.

            you could try smelling the oil or light it on fire
