Hi, Dan,
Thanks for your suggestions.
I leaned the mixture for the static runup and consequently got good
results. I did NOT lean before takeoff. Perhaps that is significant.

Also, there was a "burbling" sound from the exhaust.
Maybe loose baffle in muffler restricting the outlet. Could have
broken loose between the time you tried it and the time you took it
away.
Other things to check might be one mag retarded somewhat, perhaps
caused by a broken impulse coupling spring.
Did you try leaning the mixture a bit to see if there was better
RPM in the static runup?
