Thanks for all the responses. I can see that it's most likley time to replace the con-rod. And i think perhaps i should do it before this weekend's racing if i can find one in stock anywhere.
I'll have saturday to putt around rich-like for a while

The bushing was worn enough that it wasnt getting the full stroke of the engine and when it pushed the piston up another micro mm it was enough to have a tighter pinch. I couldnt see it but you could really tell the difference.
