yes, plug cap

leak when got water splash to it, then the plug cannot ignite becoz water short circuit the spark to ground

just change plug cap, google for pic, search shopee for pic
just unscrew the plug cap off the old cable and screw on the new one

let the engine run with double stand
take a hose, and splash water the the plug cap is and see

he open the carb is fuel at the bottom, of course fuel will leak out there
he need to collect the fuel, and check for water

suggest you service the bike properly and thoroughly

I pay the price getting cold by examine the bike over 2 hrs in the heavy rain that day and just now I spray water directly into the spark plug area for like few mins but no luck to re-create the stutter and stop issue, may be the "free the water from the bottom bowl of the carburetor" trick that foreman show me really work ??   


Regardless I will definitely change my plug coil / plug lead / cap altogether because many people or google search mention it do bring back a good amount of engine performance in whatever condition after the old one already use for so long.

thanks for doing this
we ruled out the plug cap

next is possibly the carb is leaking water, or the air intake is ingesting water
