I have an intermittent miss up to about 4000 RPM, then it runs fine. Seems to me like a spark issues, thinking caps, cables or coil. Anyone seen this before??

I have had several engines develop a miss from poor spark plug cap connection. Try a dab of dielectric grease on the top of each plug and then put the cap back on. Also make sure the cap is screwed onto the coil wire all the way. My son and I fought with a sled all winter a few years ago before we finally found the cap was not screwed on but a thread or two. It may be also that your pilot jets are too big. If it is a 900 they came with #50 pilot jets and blubber and smoke until you get up to about 4000rpm. Try some #30 or 35s depending on your elevation.

This is a new problem, jetting is spot on.
Have been doing the dialectric grease for years now. Funny thing is I found a broken cap on the PTO side and thought that was it, but new cap didn't change anything. My concern is that I fried the coil due to the bad cap (this happened on an old Honda Civic I had). I am going to replace both caps and plug wire and give it a shot. Wouldn't be too concerned, but I leave for Cooke Friday without a lot of time to find the problem.
Thanks for any help.

I would take a coil with you.

I had one that started that and I found a bad spot in my TPS.

Replaced plug caps and wires, seems to rev up fine in the garage. Need to take it up and run it for a little bit......
