Gas in the oil on honda 3000 generator even after all the gas is ran out of the carb and the gas is shut off
Your needle/float is stuck, which will allow fuel to flow though the intake...past the piston..and into the crankcase. If has been awhile since you used it, most likely the gas has gummed up the insides of the carb. Otherwise, you may have had something get into the fuel bowl that is keeping the needle from closing. Best way to solve is to remove and clean the carb. Replace fuel filter if needed also.
Hope this helps

this unit is at around 10 years old it is mounted in a squad vehicle for an ambulance service we crank it every morning after we crank it we let it run until it runs the gas out of the carb and goes dead I dont knoe if this is helpful but the gas tank is mounted on top
when not in use if there is gas in the tank it drains into the oil compartment until it is full or all the gas is gon, seems like the float needle is stuck open letting the gas through.
how old is this unit? sounds like worn out rings. does it smoke?
That's a common problem with Honda engines. you have to shut the gas off when killing the engine. I'm getting gas in the oil on my eu 3000 while the engine is running, and haven't yet found the cause.
