Yes, I would too. Even a "new" or "new looking" plug can fail.
When trying to diagnose an engine performance issue, installing a new plug is the most sensible and most economical first thing to do before digging into an engine looking for other causes.
You bet, eliminate the simple and obvious first. Sometimes hiccups like this, particularly on a near new, quality engine like a Robin, get over-thought in forum threads.
