One would think the dealer would have done the compression test as soon as
the gas was finding it's way into the oil. I would recommend you find a new
mechanic, one who is familiar with Honda's and can call Honda if he has a
problem he is not able to solve.

Me thinks that you have a blown head gasket or a cracked cylinder, do,
or ask for a compression test.

HELP ! I posted
here about a year ago about a Honda 50 HP 4 stroke outboard making oil.
Well, after a new fuel pump was installed, carbs checked etc, things
seemed fine for about 20 hours of run time, then so much gas started
getting into the oil it started bubbling out the dipstick tube again.
Dealer says it's time for a another New Pump.
Now pump #3 is in for about 5 hours and it doing the same thing !
What's going on here ?
The engine otherwise runs perfect-as smooth as glass- the choke is not
sticking or coming on by itself--has new thermostat-none of the carbs
are running rich and it is stored wiith the engine verticle,run dry on
gas and the fuel hose off.
There has to be know problem and fix for this engine. Changing the Oil &
Filter every 5 hours is not the cure !
PS-The dealer is stumped.
