Engine starts great but at all RPM's will just cut out or skip and RPM's drop to 0 then immediately starts up again
Not too dramatic at idle but when your cruising at 2500-3000 RPM's that "skip" really is dramatic.
Ignition module, alternator, plugs, plug wires, ignition coil, distributor have all been replaced.
 
I'm also having the same type of issue. I have twin 350s and neither one will idle. I can start it in neutral but cannot keep it running. i have tried damn near everything I can think of. I can run both engines at 1800 rpm and above but as soon as I pull levers back to idle they stall. If you fixed your issue let me know. I'll do the same.

Thanks,
Still having same issue.
Was told by a fairly reliable mechanic that it may be the ignition module
Mine does not stall, it keeps running but skips every so often.
It skips at all RPM's including idle
I'll let you know if we go ahead with the ignition module and if that fixes the issue
 
I had similar problem, turned out to be the wiring harness that plugged into the ignition module on the exhaust elbow.
it had a couple of dodgy pins in the plug.
wiggling the plug about made it happen or not happen
Its a small harness that's separate to main engine harness easy to replace.
