I have a johnson 200. Sometimes it runs fine. But just out of the blue it will lose power and not even run at half power . Almost like a switch has been hit. It will be running full throttle then just throttle down on its own. Then it won't run right for a while. Then just start working again. Anybody have any suggestions of what might be causing that. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks.

You could be losing spark on a couple of cylinders or fuel. Do a cylinder drop test on it when it acts up and see if you can nail it down to a cyl.
