I have a mid 70's shovel on my 81 wide glide getting gas back into the oil tank anybody know why it is doing this?

 

do you shut the pet **** off when done riding?. could be the carb leaks into the cylinders and it will run past the rings into the oil in the bottom of the motor. Or is it running very rich? if so extra fuel can wash past the rings into the motor.

 

I just change oil and rode it today about a total of 45 miles and it died on me, when I checked the oil it had gas in it, it has been running great other then a puke here and there.

 

and yes I do shut the gas off but this happened while I was riding I am thinking.

 

Why did it Die? did it flood out due to a carb dumping gas? The only way for gas to get in the oil is from leaking past the rings. the only way for that to happen is if to much is getting in or rings are seized to the pistons and had no compression (but the engine would probably not start.)

 

How do you know the oil has gas in it did you have a lab do an analysis

any noize when the engine stops
