One Friday after departing my engine had a slight maybe 2 second hiccup during climb. It was the first time I have experienced this in any airplane. I turned back to airport and landed. I went to do another runup and everything was fine. I hangared the plane and next day had my mechanic look at it. Mechanic thought it may have been a carbon deposit that hit the spark plug and pulled the bottom plugs for inspection. He did a cleaning and we went to do a runup. Everything was fine during run up. Mag rpm drop both at 80rpm each. No issues until we taxied back to park when I went to around 1000 rpm and the issues started to appear. Intermittent stutters every few seconds. Anyone have similar issues. He does not think its a stuck valve. Piper Arrow 28R-180. 1968. I also pulled the data logs from my engine monitor and can't see or know what to look for as they seem steady.
