Poor hot starts with my Gold Pro 6.5hp

13yr old gold pro 6.5hp nearly impossible to start if shut off while hot for more than 1 minute. Replaced ignition coil last year, at least now it cold starts well but not when hot. Seems to run extra smoky and throttle control is not precise. Do I need a new carb?

I was told (by LawnBoy and members of this forum) difficulty when restarting when hot can be attributed to worn crankshaft seals.

You just have to change the oil seals.
Upper seal p/n 611396
Lower seal p/n 94-5764
