Or a vacuum leak.

I attacked the hot rod after breakfast at Lizzy B's. I found the carb. hold down bolts loose. I removed the carb. and opened it up and found everything in order. I looked up the torque spec. and tightened the nuts a bit more at 100 inch pounds. A big difference in how it runs. I can't figure out how they come loose in a few weeks. I added thread locker this time.
It's too windy to fly again. I'll watch and see when it calms down a bit and plan on that if it's windy tomorrow. I have to remember to fly the corner in the reverse wingover and not ease it into inverted like I did the other day. Had I started 5 feet higher it would have nearly perfect.
