My gravely zero turn is ending up with gas in the oil. Dealer said they cleaned the carburetor. I'm thinking that they didnt. Where can I buy th full rebuild kit? Also, where else can I check for the issue? Motor seems to run fine and has no leaks that I can tell. Thanks

People here will need a model number of the engine and mower to tell you what parts you need and where.

I think you can try cleaning it yourself. Take it apart carefully remember where everything goes take pic if you need. Spray carb cleaner in all the holes and clean it off. Using spirial tip cleaners or some thin wire poke all the holes and try to clean them all out. Spray carb cleaner then compressed air again. Let it sit for about 10 mins to let it dry before reassembly. Don't forget the bowl bolt has holes to and they are very important to clean

Important put everything back excatly the way it was.

I'm not sure of model number as it's used and the stickers are all gone. It is an FH motor I think.

They very well could have cleaned the carb and when they did they cleaned the carb shut off solenoid causing it to stick thereby letting gas leak into the cylinder and into the oil. Start by taking off the solenoid and see if its sticking.

If you do decide to disassemble and clean the carb, make sure that you replace the float needle.
