Too Much Rain!!
« on: May 20, 2006, 11:04:40 PM »
Hey All.....been a while since my previous post. I had serious carb fouling problems, and spent most of the winter cleaning them I finally got her running reliably :motorsmile: ....but we've had a week and a half of rain, and she just doesn't like the wet weather. Wasn't really a problem before....it would stall out when I washed it, but now misty rains ( like following a truck) seem to be worse.

Any tips on how to keep them dry?? (Yeah Yeah moving is not an option)

I had the same problem after giving the bike a good power wash. It would run fine in the upper revs but try to stall at idle. I figure I got water into the sparkplug holes. I haven't tried recreating the problem. The has bikes run okay even in rain...
