riding to work after a exceptionall damp night resulted in savage misfiring and cutting out , the bike (1985 k100rs) would tick over as normal and run fine then suddenly drop onto what felt like 1 cylinder and stagger along at 20mph for variable distances. Closing the throttle seemed to clear the problem then as i re open it the cutting out returns. I have recently put the bike back on the road and it smoked quite smelly as if burning very old fuel so i added a fuel stabiliser in the hope that would clear the problem. Also the fuel cap rubber seal wasnt centrally mounted so i think 2 possible problems, i either disturbed some crap in the fuel system or water has got in the tank or ignition.....
