Hi

Sounds more likely to be a problem with the coil. Those 2 cylinders share the same coil. Chances are the connections to that coil are getting wet.

All the best

My MT50 used to conk out in heavy rain, but I got a waterproof plug cap and put a bit of plastic below the coil and that seemed to do the trick.
