You saying run it and pull one plug wire at a time see if any change happens. if so i would assume that if there is no change then that the cylinder i have issue with. i got an appt to get into shop in two weeks just cuz i dont have the time to to try something and test as soon as i do it. but will continue to tinker till that day comes. Could i put lower unit in barrel and crank and pull plug wires one at a time to see which one is bad if any are.

I said nothing about pulling a plug wire. I said pull the plugs after running it to see what they look like. If one is wet or full of soot it would narrow it down to that cylinder. And I don't mean just idle it it must be run and acting up.

Not a bad idea to carry a timing light out with you, get it good and hot (confirm it's not performing as you expect) and then clip to one plug wire at a time to confirm a clean, flashing pattern.

^^^^ There you go

[Rnorton]

are you taking about the light that hooks to coil and to spark plug wire and light flashes with the spark. if so i have done that and all looked to be normal

[EuropeanAM]

No. A timing light has an Inductive Pickup that clamps AROUND the plug wire and provides a signal for the light to flash. Plug wire is still connected just like it came from the factory throughout the entire process.

10/4 if the problem is the same all the time does it matter if they motor is hot or can it be check at idle at the house

10/4 but that would be the case right if those numbers are accurate

not gonna cause it to run rough at 3500 and wont gain 300-500 rpm on top , adjust throttle stop on engine first with cable disconnected then adjust HF , report back with results please
