Hard to start in wet weather ..

Take off the distributor cap and look inside. Probably damp. Dry it with a hair drier, then spray a film of silicon inside and let the Butane propellant dry
before putting it back on. Jim

Gotta have FUEL and spark. Make sure its getting fuel if it is then it
sounds like you are drawing moisture in the distributor cap and also losing spark to wet cracked spark plug and coil wire. Replace wires, when removing look for corrosion at any of the connections or any arcing at any locations along the wire. I'm sure you know to replace one at a time so as not to get them on the wrong plugs. Check distributor cap for cracks, or just replace it with new. Where the wire goes into the side of the distributor, make sure there is a weather proof grommet there or sealed weather tight. Keeping them inside or tarped helps. hope this has been helpful. gobble
