Hi guys, I have read many of these and got helpful tips, but none like this. I'm not stupid but this one makes me feel like such 
OK, while at idle it farts, pull top left wire smooths out. Replace and remove top right smooths out. I switched top to bottom coils stayed same. Oh first I replaced stator (used), was not charging and was cracked and bubbly, it then charged. (I have a parts motor 1982 90hp) Subject motor is 1986 110..
Also changed regulator. I also unhooked it just to eliminate that possibility.
Changed trigger also, stayed the same. Compression is pretty equal @ 120, reeds look good. Tried plug gaps @ 30-35 & 40.
So, seems to me about the only thing that really makes the top and bottom is the trigger, side to side would be power pack, and missing every where would be regulator. All grounds have been cleaned, spark will jump a mile, new plug wires, Fly wheel looks great, (motor only has 250 hours original, give me a worn out motor any day) So fly wheel change is next.
So there you have it guys, I'm thinking it's something small and stupid, but if I fix it would make my day. Plus the sooner I get it out of my hair, sooner I get to start on my Cat.
A big thanks up front,,
