If i were you i would back the timing down and run a full tank ofsuper through it and then fill it back up and reset the timing. Basically you have to flush the fuel system. But after a full tank of super you should be fine.

the gas isn't gonna cause the misfire.........pull wires one by one with insulated pliers and locate misfire when you pull a wire where load doesn't change you have located cylinder with misfire..pull plug and look at it and if you believe you ran enough cheap gas through it to possibly cause detonation and cause damage ...do a compression test on prob cylinder

I checked all wires and no obvious change in motor when pulling each wire. All cylinders are firing.

there should be an obvious change each time you pull a wire if it's a hard failure misfire..pull the wire far enough away so as it doesn't still arc.....this only will work if it is not an intermitent load sensitive misfire
