While driving back to the boat dock, my great running outboard suddenly lost some power and began to miss. It starts but misses some bad it won't idle unless the throttle is open a bit more than usual. It seems as if it is running on three cylinders. Have checked the plugs and they look fine. Motor seems to backfire a bit also during idle. Please help with any ideas! It also has fresh gas in the tank.

CHECK AND SEE IF THE CYLINDER ARE ALL FIRING.REMOVE THE SPARK PLUGS WIRES ON ALL THE CYLINDERS. REPLACED THEM ON THE SPARK PLUGS AGAIN JUST ON THE TIP: START THE ENGINE TAKE A LONG SCREWDRIVER GROUND IT TO BLOCK @ JUST UNDER THE BOOT AND SEE IF THE ENGINE CHANGES IT RPM IF NO CHANGE IS NOTIED CYLINDER IS NOT FIRING OR NO SPARK AT CYLINRER
