weird problem on my 74 z1

it was halfway nice out today so i decided to dig the bike out and ride it to work. This morning it fired right up and rode awsome to work. I parked it and when i came out it fired right back up and was running great until i pulled out on the street and took off and it dropped a cylender and had no gut's. I hobbled it to a friends house, drained the carbs, turned the gas and choke on and it fired right back up and was hitting strong on all 4 and rode awsome on the way home. I forgot to mension that it rained out while i was in work. Im gonna take it out tommorow and see what happens. I dunno what happened with it but it was weird.
