You didn't state wether the plug was wet on the inside or the outside. On our Wings there is a drain hole in the cylinder head next to the spark plugs and if this hole plugs up with dirt and debris or spider webs the spark plug area can fill with water and short out the spark plugs and cause the engine to miss and run rough. The solution is to pass a piece of wire through the plugged hole and let the water drain out and clear the hole so it can't fill up with water again.

I'm glad you got it running good.

That plugged drain hole can be quite sneaky because it will fill up and make the bike run rough but you'll remove the spark plugs and the water will drain into the cylinder and you won't even know the problem was there.

It's good maintenance to pour some water in there every now and then to check the drain. If the water drains out slow it's time to clean the drains. A piece of wire cleans the drain hole nicely.
