This question needs to be posted in the "Rubber Side Down" section so that others can respond.

What is causing the oily deposit?  Running rich would be excess gas, but that makes it wet (if it happens) not oily.  Is the choke pulled out?

When did this start?  

What will you use to cut up your bike? (that's a technical topic)

In the interest of simplicity, I moved the original topic from the Tech Corner and deleted the second one since there were more detailed questions in the first one...
