    low idle high pitch hick-up

    Hi, 1987 yamaha 50 ESHJD. She has been hickupping only at idle [a squeaky hick-up] and is worse when engine is cold. Is their a way to tell which cylinder is responsible? This sound stops with an additional 300-500 rpm's. Could disabled oil injection cause this? Runs fine otherwise.
