Make surec that the drain hole under the filler cap is clear so that if it is raining hard water isn't getting into the tank via this blocked drain. Think it's a problem on some curvy's.

Make sure its not the front spark plug getting wet either, as mine was a bit like this before in the wet. Cured with a fenda extender & a bit of silcon grease round the front plug cap. WD40 on the spark plug & make sure the drain on the front cyclinder is clear as well, otherwise the water can't get out

And you could check to make sure that all the vacum & petrol pipes haven't perished and letting a tiny amount of air in somewhere. I had a car do this to me once

Do the spark plug first, as this is a common problem on Sv's in the wet for some, but not all
