Pete,
Mine misses like that -- under no load, and I know I have a burnt exhaust
valve and leaking exhaust at the downpipe. You might check your compression
or just test at the tailpipe with a piece of paper for "snap-snap"...Since
the symptom goes away a valve may be sticking until warmed up or well lubed.
Just an idea.
