If your magneto (or whatever you want to call it) isn't firing, I don't see how your plug could look anything but wet! Maybe it doesn't fire at higher rpm
bur fires at idle and cleans the plug?
As stated, it's not a big problem to pull the engine, pull the blower housing, clean out the mice nests, oil matted grass clippings and then change out your mag.
I don't know a sure way to check your ignition but I think I've read enough that that is your problem.
