Overfull oil
 
No I did'nt overfill the motor, it somehow keeps doing it on it's own. About every 1,000-1,500 miles I'm having to change the oil because it's over the full line an had a odd smell to it. One time I dipped a paint stirring stick in one of the oil changes an took my propane torch to the stick an it flared up, done the same thing with fresh oil an all the oil did was barely smoke an bubble. Either I need to hurry an tune it or its probably because when I rebuilt it I didn't have the front plate resurfaced (due to funds an location). Is that my possible issues in this situation?

lots of extra fuel that never got burnt when starting the motor?? Or from past flooding?

Does the oil smell like gas? How over-full is it in 1000 miles? Is the oil milky?

From the information provided, it sounds like you need to do some tuning. It is not a good idea to be running so rich that you are dumping that much fuel into the oil. It is also not a good idea to be thinning out/diluting your oil to such an extent.

I doubt it has anything to do with your front iron.

yea I'm going to say its extra fuel being dumped in the pan and not getting burned, cleaned my fuel injectors and so far no fuel dump

Sounds like you got a bad seal in the Internals that is Passing Gas into the oil.
Compression check the engine.
BTW a badly tuned(running extremely Rich ) engine will have oil in the gas..solution is tune it.

When I first rebuilt the motor it did'nt have this issue for about 4500-6k miles. Yeah I really need to get this tuned it's just a little hard to a point considering that no one around here knows sh about rotarys.
2slow - Not a real problem starting it when it's cold it's once it's warmed up that it is harder to start, never really have had a issue with it flooding esp. with the Rtek.
Banzai - The oil does have a slight smell of gas from timt to time. The oil level I think will range form 1qt to possibly 2 or more when I catch on to what's happening. An the oil has never been milky not even before it got rebuilt.
Guilty - Did you send your injectors off to be cleaned or did you do that yourself?
