So it looks to me like the past owner had the  Float Needle stuck open and this flooded the Motor with Fuel ,  A  Big THANK YOU to every one for your in-put ,,

Phil,

Bad news.  Good catch.  I hope the engine did not run long with fuel in the oil.
The needle-and-seat assemblies should prevent that fuel leakage into the crankcase, sure, but the fuel pump should do that, also.  Your fuel pump may have a problem, if it does not shut off the fuel flow.  I would expect that RPM has a fuel pump for you.
Best wishes.
Cheers,
Red

P.S. Life is too short, and health is too valuable, to ride on cheap parade-duty tires.

Hi Red ,
The Motor is a stand alone motor , It is not in a Bike and I do not have the Bike it was in. I just bought the Motor only ,so I have no real idea how the Fuel got into the Sump , I think the Motor should be good , because the Compression readings  are really good now all around the 135 psi mark  ,cheers Phil

Nice one Phil!

Like Red said, fingers crossed the bike wasn't run much in that condition.
I agree, I'd guess this will be a good motor.

If you end up with a spare 12 motor again, I know Alf is looking for one.
