    While trying to troubleshoot my fuel problem i noticed when i took my air filter out that there was oil in the air box. What could have caused this and why?

    Overfilled crankcase, leaking petcock letting gas run into the cylinders, and into the crankcase. If there's too much volume in the case, it can get backed up through the breather to the airbox.

    Anyone else add to this?

    its possible i may have overfilled the oil a slight bit. I noticed it wa a little low so i added oil but i couldnt tell through the window how much was added.
