If the engine starts and runs alright then it probably is the stator in alot of cases then acting that way it won't even show up with a DVA

Allways go to compression (FIRST) b/4 u buy or fix anything else. low or bad comp, motor wont run right can look like a number of things lol

Re: 25hsp merc missing at high speeds

Also, my experience with misfiring at high rpm's can be caused by bad spark plugs/wires etc.

the compression checked fine and both the same. we changed plugs and wires we are finding when it misses one plug does not get hot like the other and seems to have a weaker spark

one plug ran less hot than the other. we switched coils and wichever plug fed by the upper circuit of the switchbox doesn't get hot like the other plug.^
