Hello. I have been burning my brains on a problem of my 90 Hp V4 Johnson. the problem is that when i'm running at cruise speed 4000 or 4500 RPM it will run perfect, and then it would drop 500 RPM and sound as if it were running on 3 cylinders. it does this for less than a minute (not always the same interval) and then it composes, and i feel the thrust from the regained power. and after 5 mins it will do it again. it does not have a regular pattern, sometimes it does it, sometimes it does not. I don't know if it is fuel or spark, and a mech. charged me like $200 to "fix" what he called a "collector" over the cylinder (I think a pair) but it seems nothing happened. It is possible this mech did not fix it well, just makeup.<br /><br />anyone has anyh help on this I will gratly appreciate it.<br />thanks in advance guys.

could be your power pack, thats what my 82 115 rude was doing, or coil or plug. if plug is good swap your coils, if coils good swap your power pack

Powerpacks will do that.<br /><br />But, first, check and clean EVERY connection under the hood you can find.<br /><br />Pay special attention to the negative block ground-don't just look at it, take it apart and clean it.<br /><br />This may not fix your problem, but it is a lot cheaper than parts.
