Default Zuma wont start

Well I put a used but good starter on my Zuma. It wont start, plus the battery was dead as chit. I pulled the battery and opened it up and saw that there was no acid in it. I filled it back up with acid and put it on charge overnight at 2mah.
Long story short I pulled my carb thinking it was dirty. NOPE, it was full and I mean FULL of injector oil. For some reason my injector let oil in the carb and filled that thing up. This is better than having water in the carb. I cleaned the carb and bamn, she started right up after having set up for 10 months.

Im not sure why the injector oil was filling the carb but I guess if I ride the thing weekly it wont happen again.
Took the Zuma to the beach last weekend and had a blast.
