Plug wire reversal
I'm having trouble with the rear cylinder running properly, so i'm trying to isolate what it may be. Is it safe to reverse the plug wires at the coil to see if the miss moves to the front cylinder??

no, if you have a Multimeter you can test the resistance of the coil, should be around 3.5 I believe.
