The sooty black stuff you refer to (I assume settling on to the hood) is just condensate mixed with carbon ejected from the muffler when the engine is just started. This is when the engine is cold, and will clear up when it warms up. Nothing to worry about. If you want to keep your tractor looking good, you need to wipe it off pretty quickly, or it will stain the paint. I don't have a thermostat in my SC, they were the first things to be discarded here in Black Belt. But seeing that it is my "Sunday Ride," and I never get it under a load, I am thinking about putting one in, since it never registers temperature above "cold" on the thermometer,and I believe that cold-running only helps to build up carbon in the cylinders and on the spark plugs. Like CNKS, I think you either have a faulty thermostat or have it in upside down. Try taking it out completely for awhile and see how she runs.
