check compression with gauge, possible blown head gasket & may need new piston rings.
absolutely correct, carburetor. i would overhaul carburetor with new kit, post engine manufacturer & all numbers from engine, change oil & filter after installing new carburetor to engine. give it a go & let us know how it goes.

Thanks Mark, Also fuel in the oil also. Could this be from a bad fuel solenoid or carb. needle sticking?
