I reckon it's either getting no fuel or too much fuel.I laid up a fazer for some years.I experienced two problems, both were with the carbs.1) Pilot jets and/or fine drillings were gummed up.2) Float needle not closing off properly, therefore too much fuel getting to the cylinder. I've also experienced a plug failure when a bike was laid up, exactly why this should occur is unknown, but it's happened twice.
I have not seen your answer to the first check = is there a spark on the plug when hung on the lead touching the engine,,(out of the cylinder) ?If there is , then check the wet plug idea,,,with a very cold engine.

Proven by putting lead 2 onto plug 3. Cylinder 2 still not playing.
