Rough engine after tail goes up

Post by 7130 »

Any ideas on what would cause the engine (0200) on my 140 to run a bit rough as the tail comes up? 4 degree spread this morning, long taxi, full power runup all checks normal. Hasn't flown for a few months. I did have carb heat on for a bit before takeoff.
TIA

A bit of carb ice might be a good guess. Any additional/similar issues? Peformance OK otherwise?
