It seems like i'm having never ending problems here.
I just replaced my fuel pump (see this thread: http://www.sportbikes.net/forums/showthread.php?t=285372)
Now it runs fine but my clutch will not disengage. It worked fine before my bike wouldn't start/run because of the bad fuel pump. So here is what I did:
As the pump was failing and my bike would keep shutting off, I had the choke up the whole way to keep it running, eventually it got to the point where it wouldn't run at all.
Would having the choke on like that allow gas to get into my oil? (oil level seems higher, and I think I can smell gas. Manual says this is a cause of the clutch not disengaging) BTW, I checked the clutch cable, that is not the problem.
If that is how the gas got into my oil (if it is I would appreciate anyone who could give the details of how this happens), could it have caused any damage to the engine or anything else? I had it running on the stand for maybe 10-15 mins after changing the fuel pump.
If I change the oil and filter should I be ok, or are there other things I must do?
My bike is a 1998 Honda f3.
Thanks,
Nate
