  gas in crankcase

My gator usually starts and runs pretty good but sometimes when going about 2/3 speed it dies. If you let it sit for about 20 seconds you can start it up again. Sometimes it will do the same thing again and sometimes it might run for 1/2 hour. We pulled gas hose off carb. and had fuel pressure but the fuel pump hardly ever shuts off.
The oil is thin & smells like gas. We replaced the needle valve in the bowl to see if that would help but the fuel pump runs constantly when the key is on. I squeezed the fuel hose with pliers but the pump still kept running. Thanks for any help you can give me. Bob H.
We have had to change plugs every few hours to get it started.

Hardwood I think it is about a 2000. The serial # isWoo6x4x024590 if that helps any. I appreciate any advice you can give me. Thanks Bob H.

Thanks KT. I always put stabil or seafoam in our equipment for their rest period in the winter so I don't think that is a problem. I am open for any other ideas you may have. Thanks again Bob H.

Hi Gatoraider. I tried some of your suggestions---
Both plugs looked the same-very black & dirty and smelled like gas.
No gas ever came out of the overflow tube.
We changed oil,oil filter,air filter & plugs.
THis all seemed to help a lot. It ran much smoother, had more power & seemed to shift better but when I turned it off it backfired. The old air filter was pretty black on the inside. I will try it for a couple more days & see if it gets any better. Thanks Bob H.
