Listers, give this some thought on this recent posting of gas in the oil. 
Always maintained 60psi oil pressure, overhauled the carbs. and not doing 
the job correctley, adjusted them very,very rich, I now have 15 psi at 
idle. For 15 years the psi has been 60, then what does a carb O/H have to 
do with psi except diluted oil,now loaded with gas. The engine does not 
go out just like that with no prior warning or signs of a problem, if you 
had 60 psi before then you should still have it afterwards, change the 
oil, & filter, make sure the carbs are correct and I bet its still 60psi 
when you start it again, this to my way of thinking is not a blown engine 
or a panick ready to blow engine, just go back to where you were before 
you diluted the oil with gas. "If it ain't broke don't fix it".
