    1991 gt 150 missing badly around 3000 rpm

    It would not run at all today so I Took the filter off and no gas in it the filter the ethanol in the gas made the gasket swell up so large it wouldn’t seal the filter so no way for the pump to suck up the gas .

    1991 gt 150 missing badly around 3000 rpm

    Don’t think it’s slow mode as it is miss firing badly and didn’t do that when it went into slow mode once before when I first bought it , gt 150 has low hrs less than 500 hrs ,but of course the Honda kicker has thousands of hrs .

    Motor was running perfectly the night before but today after I topped up the gas at the marina (which only sells premium) it started to miss badly at around 3000rpm ? I had to come back to marina at 15 miles an hr so it would not miss fire .

    no a spark gt150

    No spark 1991 gt150 , I have no spark on the top two cylinders when I put timing light lead on either of the top spark plugs when the wire is plugged into the spark plug. If I pull the wires off the spark plugs then I can see the timing flash , so why do they only spark when not plugged into plug?
