    Hi Experts, I have a new to me 2013 RSV with 8k miles on it and when I changed the oil, I smelled gas in it. I went ahead and filled it with new oil + filter and post riding some 150miles I found that the oil level has slightly increased. After doing some research online, I found out that I have the gas getting mixed into the oil and must get the carb rebuild. The previous owner did not ride it much for a yr (Only some 1200 miles) and that could be the obvious reason for this to have happened. Now the question is, do I rebuild the carb completely or could it be some oring that needs to be changed. I have the tools and can do the task that does not need an expert level of experience. Could some one help answer the following questions that I have 1.How hard of a job is to rebuild the carb myself? or should I go with a mechanic? 2.Is there a complete rebuild kit available? I found a few online, but not sure if its the right one? 3.Does some one have a complete list of parts needed for the rebuild? 4.Was not able to find a video online, is one available with any of the members here on how to remove/install the carb and rebuild it? Appreciate your response and thanks in advance. I am located at North Carolina, USA and if there is anybody nearby willing to extend a help, that would be much appreciated! Adding a pic of the oil level. Right one is how it was after the change with 3.5qts and the left one is after the ride. Its slow but the level has increased after 120 odd miles. Other than the rising oil level, I dont have any other issues with the bike. It starts good, idles good and runs great, no missing or back firing. Just that I am worried about this gas mixing up with the oil. The gas milage also seems to be good as I got ~42mpg on the highway. One think I have noticed is that after a ride when I park the bike back in the garage, it used to smell of gas, may be this is an indication of some issue.
