Post 5500 question
I've got oil I believe dripping out of my carb filter. Motor at wot wants to slow down and ease back up. Don't know if these are related. Running normal around 4500 rpm. I need a new prop but I did check valves last week and this was first time I took it out after it. Both sets are between .004 and .006. White smoke comes out a little as it sputters a little as well. Any thoughts on the main contributors? Any comments are greatly appreciated. Motor has 315ish hours and use mobile 1, high octane non ethanol fuel only.
