    Is it possible that the spark plug cap connection is poor.

    I have improved similar issues by removing the spark plug caps, (unscrew it anti clockwise), check the wire where it connects and if crusty, trim off about 1/4" and screw the spark plug cap back on.

    Good luck

      The problem seems to be rpm dependent, so I would suspect the problem is in the primary where the spark energy is generated(I.e. low voltage). Secondary voltage issues might show up as weak spark at idle( e.g yellow spark)
