Not sure if I mentioned this before, being that there have been so (more like too) many threads and posts lately about my Cub. But...when it runs it seems the governor is always chasing. The engine speed is erratic and unsteady. I'm guessing that this would have more to do with carburetion than timing? It all ties in with the loss of power I suppose. AND...I noticed last night that most of the head bolts weren't tight at all - so I tightened all of them up. At least I think these are the head bolts - about 6 of them right on top of the engine (?) Either way, I'm betting they shouldn't be anywhere near as loose as they were.
Just looked at the service manual after posting the above...There appear to be 9 head bolts. Some must be under engine shrouding. I should probably pull off what tin I need to and check the other 3 bolts (?) The 6 I tightened up were places where there were bolt holes in the shroud.
