I wouldn't get too exited until I was sure that was what it was. Can you get a vaccum gage on the intake manifold? That will tell you a lot. Boy it sure would be cool if that was all it is! A weak spring can let a valve get stuck open. You should have seen the valve springs on my old 10-20. Thing sat for so long they compressed and stayed there. Taken off and lined up on the bench they looked like a topo map of the rockies. If you can get one grab a "on head" valve spring compressor. get some cotton clothesline rope and stuff it down the spark plug hole on cyl that is the problem to keep valve up and gently roll the crank over till the piston bumps the rope. It makes them a lot easier to change than pulling the head off when you don't have to. Gook Luck with it!
