[HondaR12x400ex]

I have an 05 Honda R12X. I topped of the gas tank before winterizing it. When I went to run it this year, there was a decent amount of gas missing and the oil smells like gas. Anyone know what might be causing gas to get into the oil? The waverunner is still under warranty but the service department is trying to blame it on me. The waverunner also started making a grinding noise because I ran it without realizing there was gas in the oil.

ouch! Their should be no way to get the gas in the oil unless the fuel pump was powered up and you had a injector leaking, that is the only way its electrical system that runs from a fuel pump, i can't see how this would happen. now way it could happen unless you had a bad injector dripping fuel into the system. Sounds like a dealer wanting out of warrenty work, and it would take alot of gas in the oil to screw up the engine, i mean excessive amount!
