If the problem is on one cylinder, a simple test is to establish which cylinder is affected (touch or spit on the header pipe, it will be cooler) then try substituting the coil for the one from a known good cylinder.

Check that you do not have any loose spark plugs. I had this same issue once with my adventurer. The plugs were way loose. I tightened them and the problem went away.
