2004 Suzuki twin peaks 700 gas in oil

[dyinglife07]

A week ago I put 4.8 gal of new gas in and ran it for 2 hours it ran great this week I wanted to crank it and let it run a bit, wouldn't start initially made me think starter was hanging then it cranked and went dead, I then removed air filter to have a look and started it up and noticed a blackest gas mixture filling up the air filter housing I shut it off and wiped floor up to discover it was indeed gas and oil so I pull the dip stick and it's fuel of gas help!

could be the float in carb stuck and leaking into the crank from carb ... if efi, it could be blocked vent line coming out of crankcase, vacuuming fuel that way ... or rings ??

Ok it is dual carbs I'll pull it off and clean it and post back thanks

a good habit to get into is shutting the petcock off when not using it ... im guilty of leaving mine on too ... but it will stop the flow of fuel running into the carb, then crank if you have a bad seat ...

Yeah I haven't been cutting the peacock off once I park it and cut it off should I crank it and let it drain all remaining fuel from carb?

you could let it idle to get rid of what is in the bowl. hopefully there wont be gas in the oil after that ,,,

ok sure thing. once I remove the Carbs and clean them out with choke carb cleaner is there anything I should be checking real well? I know the needles should be clean and not stopped up and float should move freely anything else?

blow air in through all passages, keep in mind some needles will blow out if not properly removed, or cared for. Make sure main jet is clear by removing it, and blowing air in through and around the jet. Make sure needle and floats are set to spec, usually float will be level when upside down, however some differ. clean the throttle body, and the choke butterflys, to ensure proper function. Some bikes are (auto-choke) clean all electrical connectors with die elecrtric grease.
