Best Answer

ignition wires ,cap ,rotor ,and or plugs. Timing can cause this too but unless its been altered it is not likely your problem. Incorrect firing order can also cause this but again unless the wires have been switched its not likely your problem. Focus on plugs and wires. If plugs are badly fouled - Replace . Be sure to identify the reason for fouling - Choke, wires, air filter ect
