Wrench already beat me to it. Soaked air filter & sucking small amounts of water up while running. Dry the air filter & bike off & go test ride.
Here it goes again!?! (sudden power loss)

Well I rarely ride it in that kind of weather, but today I just had an errand I needed done and it would have taken hours on the bus. As it was it took too long, but it would have been worse on the bus, but I woulda stayed dry at least.

My spitty is the same way.I carry a rain sock for my Harley because the air filter is exposed/open to the atmosphere
I put the rain sock on if I have to ride in the rain or should I say "get caught in the rain"
I don't ride my Motorbike in the rain or ride my Motorbike if I think it's gonna rain
Yep, Lucas electrical systems and rain do not play well together...lol....lol.

I'm a fair weather rider myself. I used to ride in any weather but why suffer? The worst thing is the reduced visibility besides being soaked as a rat.
Soft in my old age I suppose.

I love those old Triumphs, such fun to drive. Must be great now with upgraded electrics.

Yea, that's all good. I always have spark, but just to keep all the fun going I have a pair of SU carbs. So there is that!
Been there, done that, on two of my three "Britmobiles"...MG Midget and my Triumph Spitfire...lol...I LOVE the reference of Lucas lighting and electrical being called the Prince of Darkness...lol...lol.
