Guy across the street saved one of these and its what inspired me to get into MVs. Amazing trucks and even more amazing you found one and saved it! Great work!

Thank you sir! Could I have bad seals in the pump? A bad pump?? What would be letting the gas into the crankcase?

So I took the fuel pump off and I seem to have gassy oil coming out of the fuel pump when I turn it over. Obviously fuel would come out but this is rather oily! Also my oil is rather gassy as well when I checked it. Bad seal somewhere? You guys know tons more than I do so any help is greatly...
