Got 2 of 'em so I know their moods (usually). A old G loafs along at idle just firing on the left cylinder all the time and the right one once in a while, and then kinda weakly at that, but when you put him in gear and pull him, he fires both his lungs and says D-Dut, D-Dut, D-Dut instead of Dut, Dut, Dut when idleing. That's 'cause they got a one barrel carburetor that feeds both cylinders and at idle it don't take much to keep the rev's up so the first or left cylinder gets the lion's share and the right one gets the leavin's. which isn't much at idle with no power demand. the plug's firing in there, there just isn't much to burn 'cause the left cylinder sucked most of it up. Now listen to a 60 or 70 idleing sometime, with their two-throat-one barrel-for-each-cylinder-carburetors they go D-Dut, D-Dut, D-Dut even at idleing and almost sound like they are laboring a little. Now, if the old G misses on a pull, he might have a plug fouled. Over at the mag or distributor you can pull one wire at a time and see if both lungs are firing. If you find a missing one, hold the wire just a little ways off the seat in the cap and see if the missing cylinder starts firing...they often will if the plug's gettin' fouled. Anyhow, pulling one ignition wire at a time isolates the cylinder firing and helps you find the misfiring one. If the misfiring is ragged and "all over the place" it's points or condenser or bad cap or not enough fuel from bad carbureation...or a stickin' or burnt valve....hope not.....
