how did you shut it down? If you run it to long on gas it will rev way up and put out lots of black smoke. this happens on our super wd6, lots of fun,gas tractors suck. lots of people tell you to swicth it back to gas for shut down so it cools the head and makes it easy to start the next time.

You can't expect any machine 50 years old to run like new without a lot of money.
