Re: missing

Wash the motor by chance? Spray a little WD-40 in/around the cap and see if that helps.

Re: missing

Are you running, true dual exhaust? If so, slide a dollar bill in front of the end of each pipe while idling and see if one or the other side trys to suck the bill in the pipe. That will be the side with the miss, then check it from there, plugs, wires, ect....

Re: missing

If it's a plug miss and you've got good wires (so your not shocked), while idling, pull the wires from the cap till you find the dead cyclinder.




STAY AWAY FROM MOVING ENGINE PARTS WHILE DOING THIS!!
