Re: low rev misfire??
Was it cold, or a cold wind flow? Could be Carb Icing which is easily treated.

Re: low rev misfire??
Misfire = check plugs.
Might not be the problem but a new set is F.A and won't do any harm to change. Plus it'll rule out one thing if it doesn't solve it. (when you replace the front one, put grease around the lead to prevent the water from getting to it) |

Re: low rev misfire??
Sounds like possibly a fueling issue. I had rough running on my curvey and I found that the choke plungers got stuck so the choke was on even with the lever in the off position so you might be suffering the same issue...
