My 300 has a slight misfire at idle speed,I have treated her to new bosch plugs,new HT leads,adjusted the timing to standard octane petrol all to no avail.Any Ideas.

Sometimes it's the simplest things, I once had the same issue, turned out to be a loose HT lead to one of the spark plugs. After re-seating it properly the problem went away.
Has the fuel filter and pump ever been changed? Might be a case of fuel starvation?

Re: G300 misfire????

i think the ignition timing knob should be set at S for "Super" as long as you're not filling on anything below 95/93 octane.
