Re: miss at slow acceleration and cruise
I think that you have a lean surge. Running lean causes the engine to run hot and could cause the plugs to get really hot and maybe what is causing the glow. Try tipping in the choke flap when running at 2000 rpm and see it the engine speeds up. If it does it is lean.

Re: miss at slow acceleration and cruise
Ur timing is probably to fast. when the motor is cold is it hard to start?? i was having the same problem and i fixed it this morning by back the timing down.
EDIT: dont know about the plugs though

Re: miss at slow acceleration and cruise
usually if it is too advanced it will start ok when cold then after it warms up it'll crank slow then fire.
