[QUOTE="BigRedAF, post: 1261176, member: 58172"] Something else is going on here? Liquid gas doesn't just run into an engine. When the engine is cranked it draws air through the carb and draws out metered fuel through the jets. That fuel gets atomized into a vapor that gets further atomized as it makes it's way through the reeds and stuffs the cases. If you have lots of wet gas in the engine I would think your float level is set to high or your needle and seat has failed causing fuel to overflow into your engine. As far as going between the ring gap goes that's all wrong... When the piston is on the compression stroke it causes a vacuum that draws fuel in through the reeds. When the piston is on th exhaust stroke it pressurizes the cases closing the reeds and forces the fuel/air mixture up the transfer ports to arrive at the top of the piston so that the next compression stroke is full of fuel that's ready to be compressed and ignited. The rings just help to seal the mixture between the piston and head after the piston passes the transfer and exhaust ports on the way up. Blow the fuel out of your cases with compressed air so that you aren't trying to start a flooded engine once you get it back together. Good luck... [/QUOTE]
