Did correcting the wires fix your issue? I am having what sounds like the same issue, in neutral it runs a miss but I can tell it up to 5000 rpm if I wanted but under load it struggles to get to 3000 rpm spitting, sputtering and back fires but after awhile it will get on plane and I can trim out...
