The best answer is Change the petcock. Eliminate a problem that can create a myriad of symptoms,, And, its just a given its Gonna crap out if it hasnt.
How are you checking oil level? IF theres more tomorrow than there is today and you checked it after it had drained down, then yea,, good chance theres gas in it,, OIl doesnt lite very easy, but gasoline does.. You put some drained out oil in a more tubular than bowl shaped container, you force whatever gas is in it into a smaller surface area. Id expect gas to float on oil if it doesnt just mix in,, Ive never tried adding gas to a bowl of oil to see if it just blends in or if it will create 2 layers,I also dont know if it will seperate if its been stirred. One things sure, if it wont make 2 layers it wont seperate.
Anyway, one of those lighters with a long end on it so YOU arent in danger OR if youre blessed with a good enough nose, you could smell gas in the oil.,.
A coupla quarts of oil is cheap, especially when you compare that to losing an engine. Gas cut oil doesnt lube near as well,, If I found gas, Id swap the filter, too,
