Default Dampness

My Dyna 01 fxdwg is in a garage and the weather is real wet now, so the garage is getting very damp. Normally the bike runs a bit rough till warm and the dampness has gone. This morning I went in and the bike was full of condensation, all wet everywhere. Started it, its only running on one cylinder, ran it a bit then went for a run. Just wouldnt fire on 2, went about 30 miles. When I got back a bit of oil was coming out the carb, front cylinder was hot but back one only slightly warm. Bike is now in a dry garage hopefully drying out.

Question is: Would the drive have possibily damaged anything? (oil coming out carb)

Most likely fouled out a spark plug.

in order to stop this from happening in the future.... put a cover on your bike and then under the cover on your seat put a plate with some charcoal... this will soak up the moisture and you will never have a wet bike again!
