ran fine last year. had it out a few times, was missing on and off, now take off and rpm is very slow. takes forever to get on plane. new spark plugs and wires installed last year. i was wondering if this is a carborater problem or coil problem. thanks...rich

could be both, you could go to auto zone get your self spark gap tester for 6.00 set gap at 7/16th test each hole for spark looking for bright blue spark on each cylinder if that checks out sparks good pretty common for carbs to have problems with the ethonal fuel get some carb kits and carb cleaner give them a good cleaning and blow passages with air good luck
