my 912 uls 100hp has always gotten 5400 on take off, two days ago it started to only go 5000 on take off, will go 5400 or more if on level flight but not on take off, i can get 5200 once i start to climb even tried it landing a few times to see if warming up would make a difference, nothing, . plugs are good, changed the gas, checked the carb floats, checked the carb jets, air filters, checked the pistons in the carbs, turned the prop by hand, compression feels the same.
engine starts the same, stops the same, sounds the same, no new noises or vibrations, muffler has no rattles, the prop is a fixed pitch wooden one.
totally puzzled,
