Engine died down at high RPM.

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.

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.

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!!

I call it time, and I can play with it however I want.

We had some nasty weather here today so I didn't get to anything, but I did pass by a marine store today and picked up a new set of plug wires, which I was planning to replace since last year.
The wires he gave me were gray and have Ht on them, the originals were black and say copper core on them.
According to the johnson site they list a different part# than the ones I got.
Will the ones I picked up be o.k., or should I return them and look for the specific part#?.
