Engine got very wet in storm and now both rear cylinders not firing.
SOURCE: misfire forward cylinder
First you'll need to get a jet kit from West coast star. Then you'll need to jet the carbs to run equally. This may take some trial and error. Another thing that worked on my bike was the upgraded coil kit they sell. It's almost double the voltage of the stock coils and comes with better insulated wires for a more uniform resistance. I haven't had this problem since. It'll make the cylinders fire evenly and save you from those pestiferous fouled plugs. I hope this helps.

Start by replacing the the spark plug caps/covers that snap onto the the spark plugs. On most machines the spark plug caps simple unscrew off of the end of the spark plug wire. If the 5000 OHM resister burns out in one of the caps it will cause a weak spark in the effected cylinder at idle. You can purchase NGK brand spark plug caps (the same as OEM caps) for $5 to $7 each. You can test your caps with a voltage meter. Off the wire they should read 5000 OHM's no higher or lower. As for the possibility of dirt in the carburetor, unplug the fuel line from the carburetor and try a squirt of carburetor cleaning solution directly in the bowl of the carburetor. If you just have a small amount of jellied fuel causing the issue, this may take care of the problem.
