Welcome aboard, crodad.
I have the same motor.
Sounds like you changed everything I can think of.
Sometimes knowing the history of the motor helps to troubleshoot.
Is this a "new to you" motor? Did it run well before?
Do you notice the miss at idle, high speed or both?

edit:
You may already have this, but here's the CDI troubleshooting guide...

Is it the SLOW function kicking in?
Do a test by disconnect the temp switch in the head that goes to the power pack.
If that helps, either the engine gets hot, switch is defective or you may need to replace the water deflectors in the cylinder to correct circulation.
