While getting my truck's annual safety inspection at my friends garage,
I happened to mention to him that occasionally I notice a slight miss in the engine. (I didn't even think it was that bad)
He said "Let's take a look".
He had an old spray bottle containing water. He dimmed the garage lights, raised the hood, started the engine, and sprayed a light mist in the air above the engine.
Man it looked like the 4th of July with sparks arcing everywhere while the engine continued to run smooth.
We replaced the spark plug wires and no more arcing and no more miss.
Never tried it on a small engine, but maybe???
