everytime it rains, i can almost predict that my 850 won't start. i'm tired of it. i like rain, thats what i am not tired of we need it. but i don't know why, everytime we get rain the 850 wont start up. i open the distributor cap, pull off the dust cap and i look inside the bottom of the distributor and theres a small amount of water each time. my dust cap has the gasket too!just where does it come in? when i remove the cap, condensation is inside the cap, on the condensor so i clean it off, dip the end of a paper towel underneath the plate to soak up the water, and spray a little ether on the points to make sure they are dry. then i take 600 grit paper because my points are always grey after 8 hours of work and are not shiny and I lightly sand the points to remove any potential rust this is getting old. eventually it will start up, after replacing points. what is wrong with my tractor? I have a 6V system. I can't tell if the generator is not working and it's the battery running down too. I am going to put a new set of point on today, and if the spark is weak...maybe I have two problems bad generator and bad point system. Tony Jacobs - how do these 6V systems go bad? in your article in the Newsletter you say that you replace the 6V with 12V conversion when they start to go bad. Is mine going bad?
