[Elecraft] [KX1] 20m Power Out Question

Hi, all.  

I recently uncovered a bad solder on C41 that had been there from my initial
build some years ago.  Now I get 4.1w on 40m and 2.7w on 20m--both much
higher than I've ever seen.  I'd like to get more power out on 20m even if
it takes away from 40m.  L2 is wound pretty tight so there isn't much
movement in spreading the windings.  In searching the mail list for ideas,
it does seem as if 20m should be closer to 40m.  Should I rewind L2 loosely
so it is easier to move around?  Or leave it alone?  And, yes, I've checked
the number of turns on L1 and L2 as well as the capacitor values multiple
times.  These measurements are with the ATU out of the circuit.  

Thanks,

Clark/WU4B
