My 88 force 50hp idles fine and smooth but after a minute or so of WOT, it runs very rough and loses power...Fuel is brand new premium gas, fuel system has been recently overhauled..compression is 120..I am suspecting the coils are going bad...any suggestions on what to check next? What is the best way to check for a good spark? Thanks everyone!

To check spark.Auto Zone or some place that sells parts.They should have a spark tester.About $6.The spark should jump about 7/16".
Check the diaphram again.Any water in the tank?Try running it without the cover.J
