My '48 C likes to oil foul the number two and three plugs pretty fast. I checked the compression and got around 80 psi on each cylinder, and with oil added I got about 10 psi more. When I bought the tractor the air cleaner was in pretty rough shape, so I took it apart and put it back together. I was never quite sure about the air cleaner and wondered if it was sucking oil out of it and causing the fouling. So I took the air cleaner completely off and started the engine...then it smoked like crazy. Before, with the air cleaner on, it would smoke whitish brown smoke mainly at idle, not a whole not, but enough to notice. Then without the aircleaner it constantly smoked the whitish brown smoke. It just poured out smoke without the air cleaner on. I then shut it down and put the air cleaner back on and the smoke was gone, not all of it, but just like before with a little at idle. What's going on? Why does it smoke more without the air cleaner on? Thanks

My Super C was doing almost this exact thing. I vainly hoped maybe somehow that it didn't need rebuilt. (I even tried running it without the oil in the cup, too) But I pulled the head off, and the cylinders were noticeably worn, just by visual inspection. Piston slop was bad. I can't remember exactly what it was, but the ring end gap was on the order of 10 times what is was supposed to be. In other words, the cylinders and rings were worn out. I put in a sleeve/piston kit, and the smoking stopped. Better power, too.

Good luck,
Bill
