Your explanation of what happens to gas in a cylinder is way off base.
Excess gas that does NOT get burned runs down the cylinder walls and thins out the oil. It puts black soot in the cylinder head. And if it is excess enough you will see BLACK smoke come out of the exhaust pipe. Same thing in golf cart and cars and trucks. If you see black smoke the engine is running too rich and the cylinders and piston rings are getting premature excessive WEAR.
