Hello everyone this is my first post.

So after wash¡ng and flushing my spark I checked the oil and noticed there is a slight gasoline odour in the dipstick. Is this normal or does this mean trouble? Any help is appreciated.

not a good sign keep a good eye on the oil level check each time log it then back to dealer


On some turbo Honda ski fuel would by pass the rings and then increase the oil level if this the case maybe have a ring problem

I would also mention it to your dealer so they have a record of what is starting to happen in case it gets real bad.

use any oil? best thing would be to siphon some and spend $20 on an analysis, then change the oil/filter, being sure to check everything external form proper torgue/no leaks, et all....my guess is normal combustion, realize todays emission controls "trap" almost all external byproducts of the motor...

If your dealer is close I would just run up to the service dept. with the ski and have them come outside for a second and see what they think. The ski is under warranty so I wouldnt want to spend any money on something that they should diag. and fix.

My wife almost put gasoline down the oil tube the first time she asked to fuel up the Sparks.

Mine is the same. I slight smell of gas on the oil. But the level is normal, it did not increase. Almos 10 hours. At that time will change oil and filter. If the smell continues will take it to dealer.
Mine is vtech tuned and no flame arrestor. Could it be related?

i'd say it's something to consider, i wonder if the dealer would be okay with knowing about the tune.

He knows, he did the tune and removed the flame arrestor. He's an authorized vtech dealer.
