So I went riding in the rain yesterday. I kept stalling out because my filter became so full of water it was dripping. Also, when I say rain I mean the pouring rain that's hard to drive anything in, this is Boston of course.
I would stop, squeeze the water out of the filter then start back up fine, but then closer to the end of the trip (I stalled out a few times) I started hearing poping noises like as if I was running super rich then it stalled out even if I was revving... Now today a dry nice day it is popping and acting like it is going to stall. I do not like the feeling of wondering if I can make it to where I need to go or not so I am going to take the plug out and inspect it.
I am wondering, is it possible to foul a plug by running in the rain with a uni filter? I must try to clarify that the filter was dripping, soaking, fully absorbed water, was not passing air and was most likely causing the engine to suck in water when trying to pull air....
