Brebret, what ever happened with your machine? Was it bad fuel or a serious problem?
My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
Joe Camel never does that.

AJ had a young fella up this way back in one of the hunt camps this fall that I ran across back in "Gods" country during the Bullwinkle hunt that was experiencing the same issue as well as gaining oil and this was on a 04 or 05 Avenger carb model he asked me and i said possibly head gaskt anyway couple weeks latter during deer I ran into another guy from that camp and i asked him whether that fella got his rig sorted he said he did and thought that he told him that it was the fuel pump and fuel getting in the oil and the level going up and it burning it off or something to that effect,I sat there like a deer in headlights not having had a carbed model avenger I wasn't sure whether it had a mechanical pump and this was possible my Conquest had electric my older Magnums had mechanical but this is what was said.NCT
Yes NCT the carbed Avengers have a mechanical pump built into the valve cover, and I just experienced the same issue along with one a few years back. The pump ,other than location , has the same internals that your magnum did.
