JD lawnmower question.

Posted by Getting frustrated....wit on May 07, 2006 at 08:44:10 from (205.188.117.14):

Hi, Have a JD LX 188, engine seems to have low power and the oil is very thin from tons of gas in there....real runny.

Here are some things I checked:

Checked both plugs and there is spark there.

WHen I pull the right plug wireoff, the engine bogs down, when I pull the left plug wire off, the engine doesnt slow much.

Checked compression on both sides, getting between 80 - 95 psi....
Dumped all gas in tank and started with clean new gas, new gas filter.

As said, I have never seen oil so gassy smelling and runny, so I changed it.

Still cant get much power from the engine?
Do they normally run this way?
What could be wrong - something in the carb?
Thanks in advance for your ideas/tips.
