I have had great luck with cutting the heads to ad compression and torque.
The 185 cubs are rated at something like 16 hp compared to your 9.8 hp. The motors are really the same C-60 other then the pistons have a differnt part #. I have been told they are higher compression. This is what i was told the differance was on the cub website.
I also turned up the governor speed to what was listed above.
