Looking at the DTC chart, most sensor issues failsafe to normal operation, however,
29-1 for the IACV (incl poor connection) symptoms are hard to start
7-1 or 7-2 (incl poor connection) hard to start at low temperature
Let's see some voltages and spark check before going any further.
Easy to do when the keys are flying!
Good
The winter I spent at McGuire AFB my new 1967 CB160 was parked on a base street, no cover, rain and snow and never had an issue starting.
Riding in heavy rain was a totally different issue. Soaked air filters don't pass much air!
One more thought for the evening:
If no spark or weak spark, most EFI systems will interrupt the fuel pump when it does not start, but it might still be flooded. That is standard ECM program on Sportsters, 2007 up. So, fuel smell may be minimal.
I seriously flooded my 2003 Sportster when it was new, by dropping it on a fire road.
The bank angle sensor did not function, even though it was flat on its side and the motor was running until I could get to the kill switch...even with a carb!
I killed it and it only took a few seconds to turn off the petcock, but after it was righted, it was not even close to starting. Fortunately I was on a hilltop with a good down grade. A push and a hop in second gear turned the motor over well, but it took 5-10 seconds before it finally fired.
