It's shaping up like water, on either the fuel or the ignition side. If you blew enough water in under an old gasket on your fuel tank cap, you could be drawing water down to the carb from there. If you got enough in through the air cleaner, you could have overfilled the oil cup at the bottom and be drawing water in from there.
On the distributor cap, wiping it down and anything inside, then spraying with WD-40 (the WD refers to its water-drying abilities) and wiping that down and letting it air dry a few minutes might just do the trick. do the same with the sockets on the coil and distributor caps for the wires in an out of them, pating attention to the location of your plug wires. I'd be really surprised if you got any water in by the coil cover or the internal cover between the dist cap and the internal cavity where the condenser and points are, but couldn't rule it out. Is it possible that you saturated the insulation on the wire that grounds your magneto enough that it's giving you a weak, intermittent ground making it run rough? -- that would be most likely near where the insulation frays near either the ground stud on the mag or near the switch.
