Yes, I went back and found the segue. Thank you!Well, something like this definitely happened. It started this eve on the second kick. It took 5 or 6 tries the other day. I could tell right away that left piston was firing normally because I still had idle screw set pretty high because it was essentially running on one cylinder last time, and it immediately jumped to about 2500 rpms. I backed off the idle screw and as rpm dropped back down to about 1200 rpms, I heard a metal on metal clanking noise, so I immediately shut her off. Don’t know why this happened at lower rpm, but it is clear that some damage was done the first time I started it. Guessing a bent pushrod or valve stem (as marshg246 had predicted). Going to pull the head later today. One problem solved, a new one is born.
