tried the search engine and found some info but was looking for some more answers--<br /><br />engine:<br /><br />96 johnson 88spl<br /><br />problem:<br /><br />intermittently, while running @ WOT the engine will loose about 1000-1200 rpms for an undisclosed period of time---it runs like a top 98% of the time--i can run all day at 4000 rpm with no problems and it starts and idles great and will wind up fine with no power loss--when the problem occurs it feels like i loose a cylinder or foul a plug, i can throttle back and it will run fine, and then put it back in the corner and not have any more problems for the rest of the morning--<br /><br />seems to only do it when warm and there is no consistency to how when or why it will happen--<br /><br />my attempts to repair:<br /><br />compression is good in all four cylinders<br /><br />plugs are new and not fouled<br /><br />plug wires have been replaced<br /><br />carbs cleaned<br /><br />fuel line checked for leaks/starvation<br /><br />from what i understand, and correct me if i am wrong, if the power pack is going bad then it will only run 2 cylinders<br /><br />my last thoughts might be the stator or coil?<br /><br />hoping somebody out here might have come across the same problem and have a quick fix or might could direct me towards something that i may be overlooking!!<br /><br />thanking yall in advance for any info that might come up!!<br /><br />Scott
