So the oil in the 124 was saturated with fuel again.
The first time I noticed this I thought the problem was the worn out DHSA carb dribbling excess fuel down the intake. I replaced the carb with a new DFEV and thought that would be the end of that. Well no.
I spent the last 2 days removing the mechanical pump (the only other place the gas could come from), installing an electric pump and changing the really gassy oil. I wired it up thru a relay and put in an inertial cut off switch as well. I used my HF rivnut tool to put a couple 1/4" rivnuts on the DS side inner wheel well to mount the pump.
I had fun figuring out the wiring. Fortunately, nothing went BOOM and there were no leaks on start up. I will check again tomorrow to see if anything decides to drip.
I took a short drive and it seems to run OK, hopefully there won't be a lot of gas in the oil tomorrow.
