Like any engine, it's usually about maintenance. Solution: go down the annual checklist. Look for those air leaks into the intake tubes at both ends, check for moisture in the wiring harness: no easy way to do any of that but it needs to be checked FIRST. Use your infrared thermometer to check for "cool" cylinders, running one mag at a time.

Quite possible that BOTH mags are in need of routine service. Pull the magneto covers and look for signs of carbon tracking in the distributor cap. Not just the inside of the cap but along the mag cap sides near the high tension lead as well (cigarette). Not sure what I'm talking about? Download those maintenance articles off the RPA store.
