Misfire code and burnt rubber smell?

Got a 301 #1 cylinder misfire code.

Also have a burnt rubber smell.

Planning new plugs this weekend.

Any other ideas?

Thanks for the guidance.

Coils took care of it.

Added a new air filter while we were in there.

Seafoam and some 2 cycle oil in the tank.

Bought the coils at O'Reilly Auto Parts.

BWD coil with "limited lifetime warranty" and marked made in Japan.
