Hi all!

This is my first post, though I have been lurking here for a while.

I have a couple of questions about my "new" Cub 127.

#1. The P.O. said there was a problem with the governor or carburetor as the engine slows under load. I made some adjustments (as per the blue ribbon manual) and it seems to be better. Motor slows a bit under PTO and more when climbing hills. How much slowing is to be expected?

#2. There is smoke coming from the carburetor and air cleaner. I have checked the oil level as seen in other posts, but it is well within the tolerance XXXXX area on the dipstick. Oil does not smell burnt, but smells like no other oil I have ever smelled. Grayish in color as well.

Any help you might provide is much appreciated!

Thanks!

Kevin
