My cub is a 1978 pa18 150 with an 1800 hour plus or minus first run o320a2b. Oil pressure is well into the green at high cruise setting but is dropping into the yellow arc at the lower end of the green power setting. Plugs are fine wire but I am starting to see fouling and oily plugs. I have been seeing weird mag drops that do not respond to aggressive leaning. I have already "dialed up" The oil pressure.
I have had 150 wonderful hours since I bought this cub from this site, and have come to respect the advice of the folks here. Although this may not be the best time to do an overhaul in my personal financial picture, I would appreciate thoughts as to the right moves to keep this great machine in the proper condition. If an overhaul is appropriate I have a very good IA and the resources to see it through, but will probably lose this flying season.
Advice please?
Riley
