Default Bad spark?

For some odd reason, I noticed while working on my blaster that when you leave it in nutural (or pull in the clutch while driving) and rev it up and hold it there for a few seconds it sounds like it is fluttering, or bouncing off a rev-limiter. It's really quite noticable..However, when cruzin around and you pin it, its not there and it works perfect. I did a few plug checks and found that its right where it should be so Im not sure what it could be. I know it dosn't really matter, because it only does it in nutural but its kinda wierd.

Do you think that it could be just a bad spark plug?
I am leaning towards a bad spark plug for this reason : A while back I blew a seal on the crankcase and my motor was sucking in oil from the transmission and burning that (well, trying to burn it) I got it all fixed up and I still have that same spark plug in it now that was in it when the seal went. Do you think the extra oil being burned could have damaged the plug somehow?

Thanks
Junior
