I was on the race track (Standard Bike except for exhaust) and we had a slight drizzle. The bike started missing and backfiring. I have had a similar experience 2 years ago. I closed the sparkplug gap and managed to get to a service station. Installed a new plug and away I went. Now the bike is completely dry, new plug but it fires once on kick and sometimes idles for a few seconds. Any blip on the throttle and the motor dies. I use clean fuel and have a fuel filter so I assume that the carb is ok. Could it be CDI ?

I've had the bike for 15 years and had to replace the stator 10 years ago but otherwise it is very reliable.
