    99 Johnson 150 running rough

    My Dad called today and said his motor sounds like it is 'missing' at WOT. Said it idle's fine, run's good at low RPM's but when he opens it up it sputters a bit. He said he changed the plugs, has fresh fuel and has run seafoam....looking for some other idea's. Someone told him to try Octane Boost...I told him to hold off for now. So, any idea's???

    Have him check and make sure none of his plug wires are touching the block.
