What's your engine? Regardless, 2050 sounds low for any of the Ercoupe engines. Your mechanical tach may be inaccurate, but if you feel less power, you probably indeed have less power... Been there... You should find the static RPM specification for your engine, get an optical tach (to bypass the inaccuracy of your mechanical tach) and check, safely on the ground, if you are meeting spec.
