I rode to work yesterday morning in a pretty good downpour, which luckily cleared up by the time I went home. I was even able to head out for a nice ride before turning toward home.
The thing is, this morning when I needed to run an errand, I pulled out the Monster and headed out. While I was on the freeway, cruising was fine at 80-85mph. After getting off, the bike started to act kind weird, like one cylinder wasn't firing, then would kick in and run, then off again, kinda surging. If I give it a bunch of gas, then things run fine, but anything less then full throttle surges.
I filled up yesterday afternoon, and there's about 45 miles on that tank. I rebuilt the fuel pump about 6 months ago, and today picked up a new fuel filter, just in case. Still, she surges.
Pulled the plugs and the vertical cylinder was fouled uo. Cleaned the plug and re-installed. When I fired her up, she seemed to run, but I noticed gas leaking out of the collecter pipe.
I've checked all hoses and connectors and things look good. Someone at the shop suggested that there may be water in the fuel?
