Maybe you got water in the carbs? Have you taken them off and cleaned them?

I'd try Seafoam or Berrymans B12 first.

Drain the float bowls, if you haven't already.

There is a drain at the bottom of each spark plug well. If it gets trash in it the water will get around the plug boot and short it out.

And if there's water in your carbs that's one of the reasons why the manufacturer used airboxes instead of pods.
