You've got water in the spark plug caps. Take them off the spark plugs and dry them and it should fix the problem. You could clean out the drain holes on the side of the engine with some compressed air too if you want.

Yeah and make sure you turn um inside out before pulling them over the caps, that way when you turn um back you don't get anything nasty on your nob
