(My friend seems to think that there is something preventing the bowl from being able to keep up with the required fuel flow, and the engine starves, the bowl fills back up, power goes back to normal, until the bowl is dry again....) Hi. I never had this kind of problem with my converted C-85, but if you are a test pilot you could go up again and start priming the engine when the RPM drops. If the RPM comes up then your carb has a problem , if not I would suspect the Magnto(s) ..
