See, you should always listen to the old boys. They said 'for the winter, make sure your wires
and plugs are in good shape.' Did I listen? No. Plowing snow, slow, cold and lugging down a bit in spite of TA, #2 quit. Well, if it had been a green tractor, I'd of been out of luck, but reds run okay on 3 of 4. Finished up, limped home, prayed it wasn't a
valve. Went to TSC, got wires and plugs. Ordered cap
and rotor from NAPA. Did wires and plugs, one at a time (#2 first)
to start with. Replaced them one at a time (hey,
I've been around the block at least once) to
see if and when I added a miss-fire. Well,
with each dirty old fouled plug (leaned out
the mixture later) and floppy old wire that
was covered from the paint job, she just
ran better. After all four, she purred. Came back next day. Stone, ice-cold. Hit the
starter and barely turned over once before
she caught and purred. Old boys were right. Cap and rotor came in. Re-arced the cap springs,
replaced the old cap, as cascades of green
stuff came out of the old wire-holes, and
things got even better. Yep. Listen to the old boys. Get the ignition
in shape BEFORE winter.

"Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
