Re: Doesn't seem to be getting gas. Gas in spark plug
Your carburetor needs to be rebuilt. It has thin diaphragms that get hard after a couple of years, sooner in hot climates. Also check your fuel lines for cracking.

if it doesn't fire on starting fluid then you have a spark problem unplug the engine connector and recheck for spark if you then have spark check your safety switches if still no spark check the coil
The only way oil can get into gas is if someone adds oil to the gas! Drain gas tank. Put Clean gas in and try it then. Oil in gas usually fouls the plug so if it doesn't run by now, check the firing in the plug.
try starting meaning pull the rope 6 times and then check the spark plug if its wet clean it or try a new plug, if its dry your not getting fuel in the cylinder which means carb problems. if you have a seringe or something to put some gas into the spark plug hole then install spark plug and try it. if it runs for a couple of seconds then you need to focus on the carb. only put a small amount of fuel in the plug hole if you try it otherwise youll be pulling on the rope for awhile before it will start. hope this helps.
sounds like fuel starvation. did you run the car to the limit or run out recently? you may have sucked up dirt from the bottom of the tank which is now blocking your fuel system.
if you crank over for a while and dont smell gas at the exhaust then it could be there is not fuel getting through.
remove the fuel line from the engine and see if fuel pumps out when you turn over engine.
just do a short turnover with pipe into a jar or some vessel to catch the gas.
if that is ok, replace pipe, also check fuel filter is not blocked, if one is fitted.
then there maybe a blockage in the carb or injectors remove spark plugs and crank over and see if you can see gas vapour.
warning do not use flame to see as this will cause explosion.
As far as gas in the oil I presume you are talking about bar oil. I wouldn't worry to much about that. Empty out all you can and refill with bar oil. With oil in the gas I would drain all I could out of fuel tank,then remove sparkplug and pull srarter rope several times. With plug still out i would pour 1-2 ounces of of gas into plug opening and let it set for a few mins.,then dump out remainging fuel. Once again I would pull starter rope several times. Reinstall plug and refill gas tank with proper fuel oil mix. Try to start. If you're lucky you can get it to fire and burn off excess oil in afew pulls. If you can get it started I would run for just a couple of mins,then shut off and drain gas again. Hope this helps. Thanks.
ok so now check for spark by removing a spark plug wire and sticking a srcew driver into it and then putting it next to metal on engine but not touching have some one crank it over and watch the screw driver for spark. sounds like one of the two crucial elements is missing you have gas and now you need spark to run.
its probably not getting any gas from the tank try putting your finger on the hole on the carberator and pull your finger should be wet if not take fuel line of the carburator and thenblow then take off the gas cap and blow through the hole on the gas tank it should flow freely throgh teh line to the carburator
Disconnect the air filter tube from the throttle body. have someone step on the gas pedal or simply open the throttle valve then try to check if you smell gas inside the intake manifold. if you do smell gas, then you have an ignition problem. check if the spark plugs are getting sparks.. a general mechanic can easily isolate the problem. Have it checked.
