YES, the same happened to me, you speak with a straight tongue. Robert Q.

A common scenario is that the valve guide finally wears out so the valve doesnt close properly any more and you experience a big , scary drop in power. You will have about 1700-2000 rpm max- I was lucky to be on approach when it happened. If it happens to you on takeoff or while you are carrying a passenger (I had my son on board) you may end up losing altitude and have to land off-field somewhere. better just yank it.
