Dave,
I was going to guess an internal broken wire before I got to end of your post as this has happened to me twice and is a common issue in these engines.

1. 07:51 PM - 912 ULS sudden rough running on mag check (Dave)

Subject: 912 ULS sudden rough running on mag check
My engine ran fine on a local flight to a neighboring airport last week. When
leaving, I had some vibration, rough running that is not characteristic to my
engine. I powered up the boost pump and it seemed a little better so I continued
to taxi. Just prior to the run up area I got a few more shakes so I pulled
off to check under the cowling. I found nothing amiss so I continued to checklist
and mag check. My A side ran fine but B dropped 150 or so then ran fine.
I flew the 30 min flight home without incident and arriving at the hanger
did my usual shutdown mag check. The B side shook like crazy and I could not
power through the rough running. Heres what I found.
Grounds all normal. Checking the trigger coils resistance all was normal. I took
the connectors apart and established continuity to the triggers. Checked the
coil primary side and one had no resistance, meaning two cylinders got no spark.
I used a pin and checked the white wire near the coil and got good readings
