Shovel chop don't like water
I got a 79 shovel chop and a couple weeks ago ran in the rain and it seemed to run rough. Then just today I washed it it, fired it up and it ran rough and back fired a bunch.
It's dual plugged with up sweep pipes and kick only. What on it hates water? When I started it after wash the pipes blew a bunch of dirty water(assumed) out of them.
Any ideAs?

I have a friend that had up sweep fish tails on a 100" S&S motor in a FX swing arm frame. Every time it sat out in the rain it would send a geyser of crappy water shooting out the pipes after kicking it over. As for poor running in wet conditions check your coil for cracks and as mentioned, wires. My bike sometimes won't start after a washing but a shot of WD40 in the plug wire and coil drys it out. Don't know if you run points but they do get wet some times.
