Sounds like blocked exhaust to me (adw there first).

But not high use .... exhaust blocked with some creatures nest or something ?

 

Edit :  could be insufficient air going in if its going rich (smoking) with open throttle but filters ok so blocked air inlet, ie before the filter.

On the FS360, it sounds like the air filter is getting saturated in fuel/oil mix, this on an older machine, is possibly caused by a broken or significantly worn piston skirts causing blow-by from the crankcase back through the carb when the piston drops down on the power stroke.

I suspect the fix may have been something much more simple so blocked exhaust/spark arrestor is possible as is carboned up exhaust port.
