Check the float system needle valve might not be seating or the float has a pin leak and sinking

No I haven't heard a ping and there is no water in the oil. I am going to rebuild the carb and replace the fuel pump before I drive it again. Im sure the fuel in the oil is affecting the lubrication of the oil and don't want to cause engine damage.
