So, in the process of cleaning the air filter and checking the plug, I found the plug wire just hanging loose, disconnected. How I got home yesterday I'll never know, but somehow the rubber plug boot was too deep and springy and wouldn't allow the plug tip to stay connected to the wire. I know that rubber can swell when exposed to oil, and I've had a little oil seepage from the valve covers since my last valve adjustment. I cut off about 3/4 inch off the boot, seated the wire, cleaned & gapped the plug and cleaned and oiled the air filter. The bike now starts and idles without issue. New plug and wire are on order. I didn't mean to hijack your thread, RJ, but maybe this will help someone else.
