I made a long 15 minute idle out of the back of a creek, then I made a short run on plane. When I got off of plane and back down to idle I noticed the motor was idling rough almost like it was down a cylinder, I tried to get back on plane but It didn't have much power and I couldn't get more than 2000-2500 RPM out of it. I checked the primer bulb and it was stiff, and I was getting no alarms or warnings on my smartcraft monitor. I turned it off for a few minutes and turned it back on and it was doing the same thing still, I drove around trying to get on plane for a few minutes then all of a sudden power came back and it shot up on plane like normal, also blew some smoke out when that happened. I tried to duplicate the problem again but it ran fine all the way back to the ramp. I checked all the plug wires and plugs on the ignition coils and they were tight. I just changed the spark plugs, fuel filter, fuel lines, and primer bulb 3 months ago. My thought is it could be an ignition coil going bad but I am open to other suggestions, never had any issues with it running before.
