Missing at slow speed

[Hal380]

Ok problem solved - and no wise cracks please.

Decided to pull a plug to see if there were any evidence of fouling. I then noticed that not all of the plug caps were as deeply seated on the plugs as others. As I pushed on all the plug caps - 2 "snapped" on further. I am not as mechanically inept as this makes me sound, but it is what happened. Now the moter purrs as low idle and is smooth at low speed. The only reason I am embarrashing myself like this is as a courtesy to those who replied and tried to help.

Regards and thanks

It's not a mistake, it's a learning experience. It ranks right up there with leaving the drain plug out of the boat and then launching it. Point being that you'll always remember to check the wires now when you change the plugs. You get an attaboy for this one for solving it.

Been there and done exactly that.....barely made it in one day....hooked it up at home and stood there going WTF..... click click and I was good to go....

Spareparts gave me the good fix to use some small black wire ties to cinch them down as mine would come loose periodically with just normal running.
