I did detect the misfire. I thought it was A/F or timing. I didn't think it was a no fire in the plugs. My plan was to cruise for a few minutes then return home and figure out the misfire.
And, I used the temp gun on each exhaust port and all were + or - 10 degrees. So, I assumed all cylinders were firing.
Remember, this is my first rodeo... Not an expert.
