Re: water in the oil
my Club car was running strange, emptied the oil and it was real runny like water? its been raining lots and right now its been parked in my garage due to repainting and other tuning up on it, going to put fresh oil and oil filter on it, after reading the comments I think it will be much better after I'm done with oil change, I'm not sure what's in the old oil?, I'm thinking maybe Gas? I have new spark plug in it so I'll just have to see if this happens again? I've saved the old oil for someone else to look at

Re: water in the oil
gas in the oil will make it runny, from either a failed fuel pump or carb flooding the engine.
also if it is frequently run for short distances, but never driven enough to reach full operating temp, condensation will appear and never have the chance to burn off. my guess is it is probably gas in the oil. usually water mixed in engine oil turns into more of a chocolate milkshake type color and consistency. however, keep in mind gasoline evaporates pretty easily so if you left it in the drain pan for more than a day or two, the gasoline has probably evaporated leaving just oil with no more gas smell. |

Re: water in the oil
Enough fuel in the oil will make it appear milky. Usually it's obvious if you just get a whiff while its draining because it will smell like fresh gas really strong.

Re: water in the oil
Water mixed with the oil turns it milky, almost like mayonnaise. Most likely the runny oil has been diluted by gas. Has the level on the dipstick gone up?

Re: water in the oil
could I of gotten Gas in the oil, by over choking the motor? or was the float stuck? I changed the oil with new oil filter, jacked up the rear wheels so I could test run the motor in my garage and its running fine, but the real test is outside, I'll comment after that run
