Need Help 96 12valve.

96 12valve 5spd 215, 70K, PDR370's, 100plate, 3000GSK, Timed at 16.5.

Lost a lot of its power today and gained a shakey idle. Used to peg a 1600* now wont get over 1200* or slip the stock clutch when it ued to at will. Thought the governor arm may be going under the plate so removed the plate with no change. Exhaust is no longer dark black but more greyish and smells as he described like burnt toast. Says he tried to run it out on the way home and thought he heard a loud pop out of the exhaust. Says the exhaust sounds a bit more ragged than before. Also says the engine is noisier than before with maybe more of a clicking/tapping noise comming from the IP.

Any ideas on what could cause this? Timing was set last wednesday of last week, could it have slipped? Maybe a bad load of fuel? Maybe a dead lift pump?
