If everything wasnt tightened appropriately and all sealed up, that could be the problem. Let us know what you find out when you fix it!

That's was exactly the problem was! It runs fine now

Plugs came loose? I could see that causing the bucking as that has happened to me before, just didn't think it was that common.

Glad you were able to get her running. FYI good fresh plugs gaped properly with a good set of wires will pretty much run under water. Did you pull the plugs and take a look at them and check the gap?
