The 1650 always leaked some oil, and could that be the cause?

If you are saying the engine is laboring when hot, with no belt or load but just reving it up to operating speed.
I would be looking @ engine cooling as you state it is oily,-- read collecting clippings, chaff etc, in cooling fins.
Also check timing, & carb high speed fuel adjustment.
A 1650 is a power house and should pretty much do all that is asked of it.
