Just tried using a screw driver and found out I do have a spark. So I guess I need new plugs. Do plugs just go like that or is there more to this?????

Are you getting gas to the carbs?.... Is the gas good, clean, fresh gas?... Plugs (especially all four) don't just go bad AFAIK. Sounds like something else. Water in the gas could be a problem attributable to the rain. Just some random thoughts.

You wouldn't think so, but I had it happen just a couple of months ago on my own B12. Surprised me! Before that I would have agreed with you.
