TRG69

Great! My wife already thinks I'm a lunatic. I start the car like a baseball pitcher throws the ball. Touch the chin, touch the visor, slap the mitt twice, scratch the nose, adjust the pants, throw the ball. Every time! Sniffing the dipstick could put this over the top! No one responded to "How common is this?". The fuel in the crankcase from the fuel pump is new to me.

This is a new one on me. How common is a diaphragm failure leaking gas into the crankcase? It never occurred to me, however, upon investigation, it sure looks like it can happen! All the elements are there. Do I add sniffing the dipstick to the routine of weekly maintenance before taking my '69 out for it's weekend drive?
