Hi Ostermri,
The folks on here have been very helpful. First of all, search this thread and find a link to the Diagnostic Trouble Codes page and print it out. Run the procedure using your speedometer display and if there is any problem stored in there, it will tell you.
I also found that my air filter was badly clogged, so replaced it with a new one. Also, I had my carb cleaned, and drained some oil out so that the level was just three quarters full to allow for expansion of the oil when it is warm. And checked and tightened the battery terminals. The problem went away to a degree. It doesn't cut out any longer, but still misfires very occasionally. The last item I will look at is the Crank Position Sensor, and replace it when I get one.
Try all those ideas and post back if any of it does the job. I forgot to mention, I had the ingition switch cleaned too.
Regards, Tom
