BF8 Four Stroke limited power in gear

[rwelch5765]

Just purchased a used 2006 BF8 four stroke.
Ran well when I tested it, but in gear lacks power.
Havent tested both plugs yet.

Could it be running on only 1 cylinder?

Yes likely it is running on one.----New sparkplug would be a cheap fix.

Pull one wire at a time with plastic pliers to find bad cylinder

Yep, those twins run pretty smooth on one cylinder. Try doing what johnneygjr says.
