When I start my coach, it usually starts OK. I take off and in a few seconds, it starts to stutter. The engine misses and I have little power. If I hold the throttle down full, it'll stutter along at 15 mph in low gear for up to 5 minutes, then things clear and it runs well. This doesn't happen every time, but most times. There is occasionally a little power loss at full throttle.

So, because of the throttle loss, I pulled out the filter on the carb. No noticeable difference.

I have in-tank fuel pumps and changing from one tank to another doesn't make any difference.

So, I'm thinking this may be an ignition problem and I should change the ignitor and the coil. Am I on the right track??

Thanks
