Default 05 sportsman efi "missing"

Haven't been here for a while, need support. It seems when the coil gets wet under the left front, it will start missing running on 1 cylinder. I reach under and wiggle it, runs fine agian. I removed it, cleaned the grounding area, but still have issues every now and then. Any suggestions. You would think if the ground was bad, I would loose both cylinders.

Thanks in advance for any help

Here is what I found. On the belt side of the machine, the spark plug wire was white and arcing to the motor. This is the second time it's happened. It's just above the point where it seals the mud oud out of the hole, right in the thickest part of the rubber. Has this ever happened to any of you??
