Hello,<br />I finally got my boat in the water after having the lower portion of my engine rebuilt and last weekend I replaced the oil and filter and went out on the lake to try different prop sizes. On Sunday I checked my oil level and it was 2-3mm above the oil level mark on the dipstick and the oil had a gasoline smell. I changed the oil and filter and removed the four barrel Holly. While holding the carborator in the palm of my hand and moving it from side to side (no more than a 20 degree angle from side to side) it leaked gas into my hand. Is this normal? Are the plug gaps supposed to be .32? Would having gas in the engine oil harm the engine? Thanks!
