You're correct Mike. Number 1 is on the clutch lever side. If your plugs look wet then they have fuel on them. if they are sooty as you describe,there must be fuel present to create soot. If you are experiencing backfires I would consider checking the timing. BUT,since it is a possibility you confused the cylinder numbers,once you correct that it will most likely correct the timing issue,if that is the case. #1 far left sitting on the bike then left to right 1-2-3-4. Try that and let us know what happens. Good luck!
