Reply to "Gas & Oil"

Agreed. VERY IMPORTANT: do not try to start the engine as it is! It's really easy to get a slight backfire after sitting for a while, and you have enough loose fuel in the pan to level your garage! Even if it doesn't blow, the oil will be so thin that you also risk losing a rod bearing, as super-thinned oil has no load carrying capability. First, drain the pan & dispose of it, then start looking at the carb floats; one is undoubtably not seating & is siphoning fuel. A crack in a head won't affect a non-running engine; fuel shouldn't get out of the carb. Good luck.
