    1993 Johnson 30hp misses at WOT

    Hello, trying to narrow this down. At WOT my 1993 Johnson 30hp experiences an intermittent miss lasting a half second or so. Back off the throttle just a little and no miss. The miss might happen every 2 to 5 seconds. It is like somebody cut the power, no stumbling or trouble maintaining rpm...
