Seems a 1 cyl miss is electrical.

One of my pet peeves is just that on a non-fuel injected gas engine. Runs fine but pffst intermittently at idle

The way I solve that problem is to install an electronic ignition with the high voltage coil option(Genessee works fine with their 40kv coil). Then I get some plugs [like old ones I run (ran) in my Dodge p/u] that have a deep snooz and set the gap to about .060. I always check the piston top clearance before I do this to insure that the plug will not interfere with TDC on the piston (Stick a stick down the plug hole and "find" the piston top, then measure clearance).

Puts out one heck of a smack and it's down in the combustion chamber where everybody can get a whif of it and she ain't a missin no mo.

Do every gas tractor I get as a matter of course upon arrival. Bonus.............no !@#$%^&*()_+ points to mess with!
