Next bet, HT lead breaking down once it's all warmed up. The fact that you run sweet then die on one cylinder kind of rules out the plugs, they stay pretty constant hot or cold.
How to get a job........you're unlikely to get a mechanics job straight off, but offer your services doing a bit of bike cleaning/workshop bod, and see if it goes from there.
