engine missing problem

I recenty took a trip around Eastern Canada and hit some heavy
rains. After aobut 5 minutes the engine would start missing. This
happened a number of times. When the rain stopped, the bike
would run fine. It's a KLR 2000.
Any suggestions?

John, I'll bet you a doughnut or two that you'll find a fix in Stu's carb
"rain t-mod."
You'll find the write-up with pix at:

e%20rain%20mod/
This did the trick for me, I've had NO problems in the rain.
I ran a tube off the "T" as Stu had originally suggested, and I think the
reason it works is because I used a thicker wall tubing than Stu did, tubing
that doesn't kink.
(Make sure to copy & paste ALL of the above link. If word wrap "breaks it,"
just click the part that's still highlighted and copy&paste in the remainder
into the browser window and whack enter.)

Thanks for the info. I'll get on it right away. I live in Camden, Me and
I'll send you a shot of a very tricked out KLR in a couple of days.
Best

In view of the lists nuclear holocaust, I offer the following question to lighten things up;
Why do the French plant trees along their boulevards?
The Germans prefer to march in the shade.
