Pull one plug wire at a time and see if you have a cyl that is loosing spark when the prob occurs.

By pulling one plug wire at a time you should be able to tell which cyl is causing the prob.

Might be your SLOW kicking in. Test by pulling the cable from temp switch to powerpack at the head. Just watch out that the engine is not running hot!!!!
