I have a 1988 force outboard 125 on a 18ft bayliner. At 3000 rpm the motor starts to surge and rpms will jump up and cut in and out. What coulld be causing this i cleaned the carbs,checked for air leaks,ruled out that its not fuel related,it has good spark on idol,i pulled each plug as it was idoling and the rpms seemedd to drpo a lil as normal. Someone told me that it could be my cdi box not getting enough juice at full power, could this be it?

You said that you ruled out fuel but have you changed the fuel pump diaphragm?
