Great information, but the O/P has an engine with a dead cylinder, for Pete's sake. No plug wires or computers are going to fix that!

This is a long thread and throughout the OP has complained about previous cases of misfiring and recently has talked about loose plug boot.
On the OHV - you need to use the proper spark plug wires - I have no idea what he's using...
I do know when the wrong spark plug wires are used, misfiring on the OHV can occur at the coil as well as at the boot.
$22, 6 new plugs, and Dielectric Grease will eliminate that possibility and allow him to move down other avenues of thought - just sayin'
Sounds like he is overwhelmed due to his upcoming state inspection an
