2012 Trimstar 48" Gas in Oil
I have a 2012 Trimstar 48" with 18 hours. It has the Kawasaki FS541V engine. The mower usually starts on the first or second pull. When trying to start the mower today, it took about 20 pulls. When the engine finally started, it was spewing gas and oil out of the exhaust. I cut the mower off and checked the oil and there was definitely gas in the oil. I plan on taking the mower to the dealer since it's under warranty. I am concerned about possible damage to the engine. Do you have any suggestions on what the problem might be?
Thanks, SDF

Without seeing it in person its hard to say.. but I would guess that debris got into the carb and got stuck in the float needle and seat and let gas run into the engine.
