I to had the same problem with that same prop and engine combination. The fix was change the prop. I thought I had something wrong with my engine and could never find out what it was. Tried everything. Finaly went to an Ed Sterba 52X42 anfd every thing was OK. Found out later that others have had the same problrem with the Props INC prop.
