IMO, the fuel in your oil is not coming from the fool pump. Likely you
need
new jets in the carbs. The TR6 gas tank is higher than the float bowls
in the carbs
and it will siphon gas down the intake manifold, past the valves, and
then down
into the sump. This just happened to me a few months back.
I suspect the fool pump as did you, however, there are drains in the
pump to prevent
this from happening, (Vents on the bottom of the pump, if it's stock)
It is possible
that fuel is getting into the sump via the fuel pump, but it's not very
likely.
Hope this helps.
