Had the hood off for a few days for painting. During this time we had 4 days worth of ridiculously heavy rain here in The Lou. I put a bag over the carb, the coil and the voltage regulator figuring a little bit of rain wouldn't hurt the shielded 24 volt system too bad.
Well, the rain stopped and I put the hood back on. It started right up but was misfiring like crazy. Let it dry out for a few days, still running terrible.
Took the plugs out and the cap off and cleaned/dried everything up. Tested the compression while I was in there and was pleased that I have an even 110 across. Noticed that one of the shielded plugs seemed a little discolored. Put it into a different cylinder to see if I could notice any change in the idle.
Buttoned it all back up and now it won't start. Starter turns over but the darn thing just isn't starting.
It's a 24volt shielded system so it's not like I can just run out and get some tune-up parts. Plus it's going to be in the high 90's all week here so can't spend much time going hit or miss.
Any suggestions on what to try to get it running again so I can save my poor body countless hours in the sun making no progress?
Thanks much!
