So I know I have heard it before these motors have problems! But my questions is I had it out yesterday and when you put it in gear and barely giving it any throttle it sounds like its missing. BUT you can take it out run it wide open to get to where your going and throttle back and barely give it any throttle and it runs awesome no missing or nothing.....also seems like if your going slow for a while it misses until you get it opened up. Anyone have any idea what's causing this? Any help would greatly be appreciated thanks!

I'm not sure the guy I bought the boat and motor from had new plugs he threw in with it but never changed them because he said about indexing the plugs and he wasn't sure on how to do it and never got time to take it to the local marine shop to have done. So im guessing its been a while.

Replace the plugs and be sure to index them and then see what happens. Those old Fichts were great for eating plugs.
