Thanks for the replies. It WAS the fuel injector, which was blocked.

Good deal, John.

Any idea what caused the clogged injector? Bad gas?

Good question!

My mechanic posited that the broken valve spring somehow facilitated
the clogging of the injector. I'm not sure I can see that...

Also, it's kinda hard to resolve the "intermittent" nature of the
problem from flight to flight beginning a month or so ago, i.e. "When
did the valve spring break?", and "When did the injector clog-- and
was it suddenly, or gradually?".

I will be pondering these things during my next few flights!
