Had my port side engine die three times on me this weekend, each time after coming down from some nasty chop. Afterwards, I noticed a 500 rpm loss on the same engine with throttles matched. Thought I might have sucked up something—don’t see much in the pics but wanted a second opinion.
You know I bet it's those safety switches. I always keep mini soccer balls on top of my clean out ports to protect against a blow out and one of them was over inflated and pressing against the clean out port cover. Plus the latches on that cover are worn and don't really hold to well. Saw the string too, just haven't got to it yet.
