Hello all,<br /><br /> Let me first say how great you all are. You all have been such a great help to me and so many others.<br /><br /> I start my engine up and it warms up nicely. Shift her into gear and she goes good. However, sometimes, as I increase the throttle, it misses, misses, & then misses some more before finally "catching" on the second cylinder. Then it runs great.<br /><br /> Other times it won't "catch" and only hits on the one cylinder. I've got it narrowed down to the bottom cylinder (I think). The other day I was out and was having this problem. After I went to the "bait catching" hole (on both cylinders), I went then to the fishing hole. She wouldn't hit on 2 for anything. Just every once in a while she would "try" for a second or two but then back to 1. I made it to the fishing hole that way. On the way back to the ramp, it continued. Finally I decided to change the plugs. I took the bottom plug out (it wasn't coated with oil or anything) and replaced it. Started her up and ran full board to the ramp with no problem.<br /><br /> I try this frequently with similar results. I wouldn't think my plugs would be going bad every other trip, would they? What gives??<br /><br />Shane
