actually with our engines ( well the carbed, mechanical fuel pump engines...... ) the most common reason for Fuel in the oil is caused by a leaking/punctured diaphragm in the fuel pump........ the leak is not always evident on the diaphragm when it is disassembled.... if this leaks, the fuel has a direct route to the crankcase. I have seen this problem quite often.....
