There is simply an old saying about a wet bird doesn't fly at night, which I 
threw in with the idea that it seems a wet plug and/or leads will drain off 
a lot of juice and low batteries often do just not transmit enough coil fire 
and/or electronic ignition firing to point where will not fire, especially 
easily noticed in jet skis, wet bikes, etc and with mazdas perhaps even more 
so noticable when plugs fuel flooded, especially when battery low enough to 
still provide currant for cranking but seems it will just not fire plugs as 
well.  jofarr
