    It's usually due to faulty spark plug or lead, more often a lead but it it could also be something else.

    Fuel filter is another one, fairly cheap and easy, plus they should be done every so often anyway.

    If you've got a multimeter check the resistance of the leads. As I said earlier it is probably a lead because every time I've had a miss under load it's been a faulty lead and not a plug, and that's been quite a few times over many years.
