Hi Neil,

  Hoo boy!  Sounds like "piston slap" to me.  At least one compression
ring broken and the slug is rattlin' around in the hole without the
ring(s) to stabilize it.  It's real noisy on a long-stroke engine.  The
recovery of pressure on the low cylinder is a dead give-away.

  If it makes you feel better, you didn't do it in with your carb
adjustments.  It just happened to go at that time.  Now to fix it!

  Sympathy,

  CR
