Oil blowing back out of Carb?
I just removed my Air Filter (K&N) and I noticed there is a little too much oil on it and pooled in the A/C itself.
I just cleaned and oiled the filter the other day and I do not think I over-sprayed it with filter oil and this looks like motor oil I think. What would cause it to blow some oil back into the carb? Would running it in hot weather with the Enricher open a bit (Just to warm it up) cause this? Or am I just worrying too much and it is probably excess filter oil? |

This is a common problem on sporties. How full is the oil tank? If you keep the oil level no more than 1/3 of the way above the ADD mark on the dipstick that should help the situation. If you need to drain some oil from the tank the easiest way is to use a turkey baster to suck out the excess.

At least it is normal and or common.
I was worried about a bad ring or valve or something. Yeah, the oil is a bit high in the tank. I'll drain a bit and see how she goes. Thanks! |

Dip stickshould show about 1/2 qt low when cold...this will put it almost right at the full line when hot.

You should always check the oil level when the engine is hot. The 1/3 above the ADD mark I mentioned above is measured when hot.
