Weak battery and/or corroded connection are the most likely. Old fuel doesn't vaporize well. Bad starter, weak ignition, timing and valve adjutments are also possiblities.
Removing the plug reduces the load on the electrical system and makes it easier to fire the remaning plug under pressure in the cylinder with the mix.
