Outboard runs fine for a while at WOT. Occasionally RPM will suddenly drop to half or less RPM for a few seconds or longer and then return to WOT. It may do this repeatedly. Drop in rpm is smooth and instant, (no stumbling, engine runs smooth even if rpm drops to near idle) I replaced primer bulb and squeezing it has no effect.<br />Compression good, <br />Any ideas... :confused:
