Have you tried a compression test?

Default rpm loss

You mentioned earlier that it almost seemed as though it was a lack of fuel!
Could there be a fuel pump problem?
Was the motor changing rpm slower then faster?
I had a problem on time with contamination in the fuel tank a plastic cap floating around in the tank, inconsistant fuel delivery causing rpm drops only on occasion, a tough on to trouble shoot, we pulled the fuel tank and found the plastic plug.
Post your findings.
Thanks

Default It's Back!

Yesterday morning before work I decided to start breaking down the exhaust etc so that I could pull the valve covers. i decided to pull all the plug wires and get them out of the way. When I did this I noticed that the positions of 1 & 3 were reversed in my wire seperator hmmmmm....... I'd checked those wires at least five times but they evidently were twisted behind the exhaust and a pull on one moved both.

To make a long story short, swapped the wires and it's all good.

Thanks for all the help.

Default Plug wires

Looks like your going boating!
Thanks for posting your findings.
They should make a design change in all ingition wires with different colors and or a more perminant type of method to stick on or crimp on a solid number with a stainless steel number.
I typically like to use a paint stick, and write the cylinder number on the plug end of the wire.
Have a great day
Brian
