Have you pulled the spark plug cables? There might be some water underneath the insulators that is grounding out your spark. I would start pulling connectors that could affect the running, and see if anything else is wet.

Also, have you checked the ignition timing after replacing the cap? If all else fails, throw a timing light on it to check it, and adjust if necessary.
