Post Gas in oil
I have gas in my oil on my 27 Kohler, I already checked my fuel pump so it must be my float stuck? Right? Any tips?

Is it burning any oil?

If the float is stuck it will run like shit, has it been doing that?

I'd definitely check that, is it flooding any?

It may not have trash in it and still stick.

Sometimes all it takes is completely taking it apart and spraying carb cleaner on all the parts then re-assembling it.
I've fooled with several stuck floats that had no visible trash in it, took it apart, put it back together and worked fine.

Good luck.

I never messed with carbs other than my 16 vanguard, that one was simple, my Kohler has wires and shit everywhere

I found the problem, the o-ring on the lil brass tube broke and was making my float stay open, but I don't have a o-ring on hand, kinda bummed
