I didn't get to the boat today, go figure the wife wanted to spend time with her and the kids today, but tomorrow I'll check what I can if its not pouring.
I was looking at the diagrams and I can see how the plugs on each side are related to the each of the two packs.
Would a bad pack bog me down at high rpms?, or can the pack only show signs of failing at high rpms?.
Should I open her up and see if it does it again, or just let it run for a while and take a look at the plugs?.
I think I'll try swapping the packs to see if the plugs on the other side get all fouled up.
I'll get back with results as soon as I get to the boat.

Bad packs can do all sorts of wacky problems. They can cause them to mis-fire, not fire, and other sorts of hair pulling problems. They are the 1 item that a JOHNNY-RUDE owner should carry for a spare.

Unhappy

Had the same problem today down in Ocean City. On the way back my 96 Johnson 112 would be running 5000 rpm then it would drop to 3500 or so for as little as a second and as much as 10 seconds. Had this problem at the end of the year last year and changed hose and ball also installed new 10 micron racor filter/seperator. Its funny ran for two days fine and then it started acting up. Left tank was near empty so I switched it to the right tank which was full. Sill did it. Its driving me nuts.

I agree!! when mine was bad I went from thinking bad gas, bad plugs, bad coils, bad ball on the fuel line, ect... ect... ect... then I saw a pack on ebay for cheap, I ordered it and all was perfect in the world!!
