Hi
Theres a couple of causes for this.First i would check your muffler ,the spark arrester and especialy the exhaust port for any carbon build up .If it is even partially blocked you will lose power and as the engine is not running properly it will spit oil back out of the air inlet [If it cant get out the muffler it has to go somewhere].
Also check the oil/fuel ratio ,if it is too rich you will also get these symptoms.
And the other reason ,which is rare ,is a partially sheared flywheel key which will alter the timing.
But my money is on the exhaust system.
cheers :) :)

thanks DAJ i think it the carbon build up. iv clean it by hand. e.g wire brush and give it a blow with the air compresser. do you recomed any thing else as fair as cleaning the muffler??? thanks alot :wave-hi:

I removed the arrestor cut a bit off the mesh end and put it back in.Helps to keep it a bit quieter and does not block up any more or lose power due to blockage which caused the oil problem mentioned.

If you can blow air freely through the muffler and the port is clear,then thats about it.
