1990 50hp force it starts fine, runs fine at idle, I can troll for walleye all day no problems.
When I hit the gas and start going it pops every 30 seconds or so, it doesn't seem to be loosing power except for the pop. Any ideas?
Thanks

I think you may have a lean misfire. The fuel idle mixture is to lean on the high idle fuel mixture.

A defective coil can cause a high speed misfire as well.
Older Harley's were famous for this.

Thanks for the help, it turned out to be a squeezed fuel line where the fuel line entered the case of the motor at high speed it was starving for fuel.
