    After trolling the archives, it appears there are at least 2 reasons
for gas to get into the sump: 1. Stuck float valve in carb(s), or 2. Bad
fuel pump.  If my sump is FULL of gas (ie. it's well up the dipstick), I
guess I should assume it's the fuel pump?  I plan to drain the oil/gas
tomorrow, I'm just wondering what I should plan on fixing afterwards.
Thanks.
