Idles and starts perfect! runs great up to that rpm range. got the fuel out of there and changed plugs. power is back but still missing ever so slightly. Any ideas? timing is still where it always has been. Thanks!

Might see if rotor phasing is borderline (unhook/cap vac adv & see if it gets better/worse or no change) live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

I know you haven't changed the timing, but maybe if you have Ethanol in your fuel now it has created a change? Facts are stubborn things.
